Glen is widely known in the social media community for his incisive understanding of new media strategies, policies, practices, tools, and trends. As the Memphis Daily wrote in a feature article about Glen, Gilmore at Front of Social Media Revolution, he “is well-versed in all things Web-related.” Astute in all areas of new media, Glen was invited by the Memphis Social Media Club to serve as the keynote speaker for a presentation on social media for business leaders. He was successful in capturing and holding the attention of an audience of over a hundred social media savvy business leaders from some of the region’s biggest business and industries. Glen was able to impart important lessons in a crisp and interesting manner. Receiving an enthusiastic response from the audience, Glen deftly answered a broad array of questions in a manner that made the complex understandable.
