Shelley Keith has building websites long enough to remember when Angelfire was rad and the capitalization of HoTMaiL was clever. She survived the Dot Bomb, the advent of the "blog," and the days when every small business client was sure they could clone eBay, only just for Beanie Babies, and make a mint. Having spent roughly 15 years building and managing web and social media in higher education before being lured away by the siren's call of her dream job with Modern Tribe, today she's managing a really smart team building really cool stuff. She talks about content strategy, governance and accessibility anytime someone gives her a microphone.
