Tac Anderson describes himself as an "ADHD, GenXer with a ravenous thirst for information and a healthy addiction to the internet." This comes in handy with his new role at Waggener Edstrom's Studio D Group as its digital consulting director. Prior to that he worked at Hewlett-Packard, where he managed both internal and external social media initiatives. Some of his work was highlighted in a case study in the Harvard Business Review book "Groundswell."
Tac is a true social media evangelist and visionary. His knowledge of the space continues to amaze me. He is truly a forward thinking marketer who values the concept of community and authenticity. He is an excellent speaker, writer, blogger, and Twitterer. He is also a nice guy!"
