webcitygirls// Intro by founder Lynn Ponder

What do you do when advances of technology and economic hard times challenge the way you make a living?

How do you apply your past advertising experience, resources and understand that the digital world is completely different and that you have to re educate yourself and learn a new way of communicating with the world?

In 2009 I decided to immerse myself in Social Media and started experimenting and understanding how to engage, listen and have a voice that focused on spreading goodness, inspiring and educating.

webcitygirls// is a concept that was created as part of my reinvention. I was looking to apply all of my past experiences as a successful business owner of a commercial production company based in Miami with offices in Mexico.

In November 2010, I officially launch webcitygirls// to the social community as a concept that would evolve and develop into a very active, fun, entertaining, educating social media brand with its own social media press coverage team.
