Tamar Weinberg has been working here for a while now and it due to the nature of her job, she will need some business cards. Thing is, she has a wide range of responsibilities and we can't come up with a title.
Most of our business cards do not have titles on them. But Tamar seems to want a title. We thought about sidekick as a title, but that seemed kinda ridiculous.
I personally do not have a title on my card. We used to give our programmers cards, but they never used them. So we decided to stop printing them. Programmers, if you want cards, let me know.
But Tamar will be going to conferences, networking, doing all the things a social marketer does.
So we can go titleless or we can give her a title. Just need ideas...
What does Tamar do? She helps me with my job. She blogs, she social networks, she helps with client relations, she does research, content writing, offers Ronnie advice on server stuff, makes sure sites are search friendly and more social networking stuff and blogging.
Here is a poll, feel free to add:
Would love to get some comments with title suggestions...
Update: Just want to note, Tamar does have a title for the Search Engine Roundtable as Assistant Editor but that would not be the same title for her RustyBrick work.
Comments
I play this game every couple of years and I usually am not thrilled with the results, so I end up leaning toward "No Title at All" when that's an option.
The stuff I come up with that I like, other people go "Ew, too unprofessional" or "too immature" or "not important enough"... *rolls eyes* Can't please everyone.
Leave the title off completely and she can just tell people she's "far too important and skilled to be restricted by an arbitrary string of words". :)

DONT GIVE A TITLE
IF SHE DOES ALL THAT U CANT MAKE IT INTO A TITLE. IT WILL DOWNGRADE HER WORK
AND U DONT HAVE A TITLE SO SHE DOESNT NEED ONE EITHER

I think Tamar's title should be "The Lisa's BFF". What could be a better title than that?

Titles usually are useless when you dont do just one thing or when every person at your company is a VP of something. They can however be a handy convo starter. Example: Ask Rand who I am and he has no idea, but if you mention my last job title he will suddenly know.
My vote? Id do some mashup of Social Media & Writer and Marketing Maven to get "Social Media Maven & Writer" or "Social Media Marketer".
