David Lingholm

Husband, father, blogger, student, Detroiter, volunteer. In some ways, these are just words on a page but they are words on a page that speak to who I am. I'm a family guy who enjoys writing, learning, helping others and a certain much-maligned city.

Since I finally decided what I want to be when I grow up, I've pulled many social media projects from the fire and helped revive them. I've written about some of the people, places and things that make Detroit a muse for so many people. I've helped businesses gain the attention they want using a healthy mix of social media tools, smart email marketing practices and good old-fashioned networking with reporters.

My journey to this career path has included stints in commission sales, fundraising, grant writing and retail store management. While they might seem like disparate experiences, they have all shaped my approach to communication and management. Trust me, it is a unique and effective approach.
