Our Team
Kylie Bartlett – CEO and Founder
Before I tell you about ‘Our Team’ I’m best to start by telling you a little about myself, and how and why Smart Social Media Solutions was created.
My name is Kylie Bartlett, but my friends started calling me The Web Celeb. Why? Because they believe I have this uncanny ability to create buzz, publicity and success for myself and my business and now that I’m calling the internet my home they think it’s only a matter of time before I create celebrity status here too. I like the title; it has a catchy ring to it so I’ve decided to adopt it as my own.
In my previous life (before social media), I owned and operated one of Australia’s largest corporate Training Companies (Pinnacle Training Solutions) specialising in behavioural training for Frontline Managers. I sold Pinnacle in 2007 and went on a 12-month learning sabbatical and it was then that I stumbled across this new foreign land called ‘the world wide web’. It really did feel like the next land grab and I wanted to secure my plot of land before it was too late!
For the past 12 months I have been touring Australasia educating Small Businesses on how to build their brand, propel their profits and connect with more customers on and off line with social media and in particular, with Facebook. To date, I have presented my workshops to over 1,000 fans, across 18 cities. I have also been hosting ‘The Web Celeb TV’, a weekly web-based show providing entrepreneurs and small business with clever tips and strategies for creating social buzz, building a brand and getting ‘celebrity results’ in business. 
The only problem with all the success my clients and I have have achieved with social media is: I was a ‘one-woman-band’ and if I was to realise my ultimate dream of playing a BIGGER game, making a difference in the world and ‘leaving a global legacy’ I had to empower others to teach my techniques and strategies. So Smart Social Media Solutions was born!
Smart Social Media Solutions is a very unique business model, in that each Social Media Consultant, operates under their own business name and brand but at the same time we all ‘sing out of the same smart hymn book’ when it comes to the way we train, coach and consult in social media. It’s an incredibly powerful business model when we can pool our human resources, skills and experience and share this with each other and our clients.
We currently have 12 Smart Social Media Consultants throughout Australia and New Zealand. My goal is to have 30 Consultants partnering with Smart before the end of 2012. Click on the ‘Our Consultants’ link on the homepage, to learn more about our ‘smart’ team!
