Mobloggy in Minturn is pleased to announce the hire of their new Online Community Manager, John O’Neill. The hire of O’Neill marks the positive expansion of Mobloggy, who is currently in their fourth year of operation specializing in digital marketing.
O’Neill’s role with Mobloggy will be the maintenance of social media presence, and working closely with the team to assemble all public relations related material.
“John (O’Neill) stood out from a range of incredible applicants,” said Mobloggy’s director of operations, Jodi Jahrling. “His particular abilities were well showcased throughout the interview process. He will work well with our team to deliver a high level of performance.”
O’Neill comes to Mobloggy with an expertise in writing for print and the web, social media, digital marketing, sales and interpersonal communication.
“I am thrilled to be a part of the amazing team at Mobloggy,” O’Neill says. “The entire staff is clearly oriented toward success and well versed in their particular craft.”
O’Neill, 23, is a native to the Vail Valley – he was actually born in the Vail Hospital. He grew up as a member of the community – spending his younger days skiing at Vail and Beaver Creek as a part of the local Buddy Werner program. He competed in track and cross country for Battle Mountain High School where he still holds various school records.
O’Neill left the valley to attend Colorado State University where he competed on their varsity running teams and studied journalism. In 2011, O’Neill was the Top Graduate from CSU’s School of Journalism, specializing in news-editorial journalism. He also completed an outside study in Spanish and Political Science.
After graduating, O’Neill turned his athletic potential toward the triathlon as a US Olympic Training Center resident athlete, and turned his academic past toward freelance writing for various publications within Colorado.
“It is great to be back in the Vail Valley,” O’Neill said. “I’ve been all over the world working on my athletic skills, but my favorite times were when I had the opportunity to cover local events from abroad, just to see what was going on in the Valley.”
