wannabeMogul

I’m not going to go all “There Will Be Blood” on you, but it probably goes without saying that I’m pretty ambitious given the title of this blog. Let’s just say I set a goal in life to kick ass…and I’m not done yet. wannabeMogul is my outlet to share what I learn along the way.

wannabeMogul is a blog about seeking out dare-to-be-great situations, a think tank on building and driving business, and a collection of my theories on how to innovate and evolve strategic communications, public relations, social media and the Web. It’s my perspective as a millennial in today’s business world.

You can follow along by following @wannabeMogul on Twitter or subscribing by RSS or email.

Updates may be infrequent, but when I’m not blogging here, you can certainly find me elsewhere on the Web.

Who is Jacob? Jacob Sloan is a twentysomething millennial and a wannabe mogul with a passion for social media. You can connect with him on LinkedIn, Twitter or tumblr.

During the fall of his freshman year at The University of Texas at Austin, Jacob and six other men took on the task of refounding a fraternity. In the process of recruiting and “building a brand” for the organization, he discovered social media, community management and online marketing. Serving twice as president and once as recruitment chairman, Jacob learned several important business lessons in the process.

After graduating with a background in journalism, public relations, new media and computer science, Jacob worked in marketing for a videogame publisher and as an assistant editor in the newspaper industry before joining Wieck Media.

At Wieck, Jacob is the Lead Social Media Strategist, counseling his clients to use social media with purpose and strategy. Someday he plans to be “kind of a big deal” (that whole “wannabe mogul” thing). For now, he spends his time seeking out every dare-to-be-great situation he can get his hands on.

The snarkier side of Jacob also runs a blog on fantasy football and the fantasy sports culture called Fantasy Football Fools.
