Bess got her blogging start as the founder and first editor of the Central Florida Top 5 which was awarded “Best Neighborhood Blog” by the Orlando Sentinel in 2009. She was also recruited to help create three different social media campaigns for General Motors and their “Girls on the Go” campaign for the Southern Chevy Dealers. A recognized innovator, Bess is the creator of the Florida Blogger & Social Media Conference. Now in its fourth year, FLBlogCon features the state’s biggest bloggers and social media pros at a one-day gathering for networking and exploring the digital realm.
