Bast Durbin Hires Social Media Ace, Hannah Stonehouse Hudson



Slinger,WI – When a person provides social media seminars to fortune 500 companies on a variety of topics, knows how to work a wacky rig, or can dust a flushed grouse with a single shot- you can bet that person is someone Bast Durbin wants to talk to. Better yet, if there's ice, she'll leave the figure skates at home because skating would interrupt her jigging cadence.

That gal is Hannah Stonehouse Hudson, Bast Durbin's most recent new hire, who will handle all-things social and a few things that aren't.

Dan Durbin, co-owner of the company, said that Hudson will bring a new perspective to the company and social awareness that is second to none.

"We're really excited about Hannah because she's an aggressive social media addict and admitted tech-geek that will help our clients convert FACEBOOK and TWITTER followers into dollars in the bank," Durbin said. "While she uses MEMEs, as all social media strategists do, what sets her apart from most is that she strives to CREATE content while using MEMEs sparingly as a very small part of her overall approach. While you can get a lot of content by sitting at a laptop and surfing the web, she's out in the field, on the deck of a boat, or anywhere else to capture original, pure, and exciting content for Bast Durbin clients."

Hannah Stonehouse Hudson is a social media communication and content strategy expert who has spoken and taught extensively on social media and the power of virtual communities, managed and built numerous successful Facebook & Instagram followings, created social media crisis communication plans for colleges and broadcast organizations, and is the creator of the TEDx talk on Social Media and Empathy. Her classes on Storytelling & Content Creation for Social Media Success are available at numerous conferences through out the US.

"As the owner of Stonehouse Creative and StonehousePhoto for the past decade, and an admitted social media addict, my strengths are social media strategy and creative content development and creation," Hudson said. "I now have an agency to partner with on a much larger scale, and I am excited to add my skills to the Bast Durbin team. As an avid angler and outdoor photographer, serving clients in the hunting and fishing industries is my passion, and I could not be happier to be a part of this company".

Co-owner Jeff Bast said that Hudson is a perfect addition to their tight-knit company.

"While we brought her on for her social prowess," Bast said. "She has a ton of experience in the outdoors, is a WORLD Class, award-winning photographer, and nationally published writer. From writing blogs, to her strong website and digital marketing experience, Hannah brings a wide range of sought after skills to Bast Durbin that helps solidify our team as one of the only agencies in the outdoors industry that can do it all, in-house."
