Gabe Alonso
A Jersey boy through and through, I graduated in 2007 from The College of New Jersey looking to make a splash in the music industry. After internships at Virgin Records and MTV, it felt like a pretty good possibility.
By the end of the '07 Summer, I was working for Nickelodeon as a Production Associate and looking to make moves quickly. In mid-September, I got my chance to switch over to the Music Events & Specials department where I spent the next 3.5 years. Working on projects like the Movie Awards, the VMAs, Hope for Haiti Telethon, among other things, I learned a great deal about the importance of getting things done and developed an absurd attention to detail.
In February 2011, I was ready to move on and decided to take a markedly different approach to my career - Social Media. Getting an opportunity to work with some of the finest minds in the biz at 360i was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. With a background in production management, experience in music/style blogging, and general social media awareness, I was amped.
Focusing on content creation and strategy for major CPG brands, I have become thoroughly interested in telling stories through a brand's day to day social content. I couldn't be happier.
At this point, the sky's the limit.
