Since May of last year I've been working at the Crocker Art Museum as marketing specialist, but yesterday was my last day as I've had a few great opportunities come my way and have decided to pursue them. But more on that later. I wanted to write a blog entry about the Museum and how it was a great place to work, staffed with wonderful people. Now is an incredibly exiting time for the Crocker as the 125 year old museum is set to open it's expanded "New Crocker" on October 10th of this year (yes, 10/10/10). So, I'm sad that I will not be a staff member on opening day, and I will miss the marketing team which I was honored to be a part of. Lead by Marketing Communications Director LeAnne Ruzzamenti, the team of Mark, Michele, Kathleen, Gregg and Anna was a fun group to work with, and I'll miss working with them. The department was one I always admired and respected since I first moved to Sacramento. Great marketing ideas and implementation.
I'm proud of my accomplishments at the Crocker, where I was focused primarily on social networking in addition to helping maintain the website and serve as one of the editors of the quarterly member magazine ArtLetter. I'm particularly pleased with the establishment of the Crocker's Facebook Fan page which in less than nine months has grown to over 4,200 fans and is one of the largest and most active pages in Sacramento. I also established the Crocker on Twitter and YouTube and worked on its Flickr page. It's funny, I had intended to post a blog entry when I got hired using the black "I am the New Crocker" button but never got around to it, and now it's been supplanted by the new New Crocker button.
Thanks, Brian! We will miss you too and your help to keep us actively engaged with our visitors and members 21st-century style!

Always a class act. I'm sure the Crocker will miss you as the B Street misses you. Good luck on your new ventures
