One of the very interesting dynamics of engaging online is meeting folks in real life that you’ve only followed and interacted with on Twitter and other social platforms. Yesterday, I had the pleasure to meet Jason Kintzler, CEO of PitchEngine, in person. And I was not disappointed. Genuine, personable and “social smart”, Jason lived up to expectations. 

I even stole a few moments with him right after his keynote address to discuss the future of the traditional news release, how smaller brands are using PitchEngine as a tool to tell their story, and one nugget you might not know about the social media/PR thought leader.
