What Do You Want to Ask Carol?
Real estate public relations professionals Carol Flammer and Carol Ruiz have joined forces with NHDBuzz.com to offer Ask Carol, an Ask the Expert service that provides answers to all the burning real estate public relations and social media questions of home builders, developers, real estate agents and their marketers. Flammer, owner of Atlanta-based Flammer Relations and managing partner of mRELEVANCE, and Ruiz, principal of Los Angeles-based red rocket LA, each bring 20 years of professional experience, and will each provide their advice on trade questions weekly on the new home news site.
Despite the fact that they live and work on opposite sides of the country, the duo’s partnership seemed destined. Their similarities don’t stop with their first name. The two blondes are Libras and middle children that run their own public relations shops and live by the “play hard, work hard” philosophy. More importantly, they are also both extremely active in the real estate industry on both local and national levels, and incredibly passionate about their work.
“For just over a year, NHDBuzz.com has been an important marketing tool for hundreds of building industry professionals” says CEO Jim Adams. “With all the social media buzz and questions about it, I felt like NHD Buzz was a great place to highlight a couple professionals that are successfully pioneering new media strategies for home builders. Carol Flammer and Carol Ruiz are natural choices to take center stage. They are bright, competent, and are eager to contribute to the health of our industry. The building industry will benefit greatly from their knowledge, insight, and experiences shared on Ask Carol.”
Ask Carol will combine Flammer’s Southern charm with Ruiz’s West Coast flair. “Collaborating on a project like this is something that we have wanted to do for a long time, and Ask Carol is a perfect way to do that,” says Flammer. “Because we represent different regions of the country, we can bring different ideas and suggestions based on what we have seen work in our distinct experiences with our clients.”
Rather than seeing one another as competitors, the two respect each other’s work and consider themselves allies. “Carol Flammer and I work together on several NAHB committees and we value each other’s insights and viewpoints. We might have varying solutions regarding specific marketing and PR issues based on our opposite coast locations, but we share a passion for our industry and a love of collaborative work that can benefit our clients and the industry as a whole, especially in today’s challenging economic climate,” adds Ruiz.
Real estate-focused public relations and social media questions for the two can be submitted at http://www.nhdbuzz.com/AskCarol/. The two will post their answers to a selected question. The site will become a forum of tips, tricks and techniques based on Flammer’s and Ruiz’s extensive expertise.
