Hi! I'm Virginia Ingram. I'm a veteran in the web and marketing world in the NYC and Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina markets. I am passionate about greyhounds, my family and my work.
At Capstrat, I focus primarily on professional services and web clients. I've also spent a significant part of my career reaching out to young adults. I've had the pleasure of working on teams that have recruited high school and college kids into the accounting profession or helped teens understand why they should never start smoking (but helped them quit if they did start). I've also helped students pick the right college for them (and their parents) and then get acclimated to their new school upon arrival. I've helped market various schools within a university and helped shine a light on the great work students are doing...in their free time.
I've worked with banks to communicate better internally. I've helped people understand mortgage insurance and why they should ask for it so they can get into the home of their dreams. I've worked on campaigns that have changed the NC state constitution. I've helped structure teams and love helping others find work that ignites passion. All of this work is possible because of the great team I work with at Capstrat every day.
I am a SXSW interactive judge and a longtime advocate for the conference. (Holler @gingin if you are too!)
I am from Charlotte, NC went to school in Greensboro, NC and spent five great years in Brooklyn, NY. I love to travel and have been to 15+ countries and almost 40 states. I am always reading at least three books and have been trying to learn to speak Spanish fluently for as long as I can remember.
I have a weakness for HBO shows, but have cancelled my cable (gasp) to see if I could still function as an adult. I like to take pictures for fake advertisements and miserable situations and share funny videos on the web.
You can read more about me and my insights on the Capstrat website and a myriad of social sites like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook (if we're friends).
