About

How can “Scheu” possibly be pronounced “shy”? And who is this Scheu guy?

The answer to the first question is: it’s mangled German, but beyond that your guess is as good as mine. The answer to the second question is: I was born in Cambridge, grew up in Vermont, went to school in beautiful Rochester NY, and these days reside back in Boston.  In 2006 I helped found a social marketing company called Brand Networks, and in 2008 I joined the Interactive Strategy team at Hill Holliday. In February of 2010 I joined Health Dialog as interactive marketing manager.  I have a background in web development as well as marketing, so I don’t just use social tools, I build them.

And the answer to the third (implicit) question is, I’m not nearly as shy as my name would suggest and I’d love to connect. Find me on Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn or anywhere else – or even send me one of those old-fashioned “emails“.
