Joe Morris is the Head of Social Media and Employee Advocacy at Capgemini.
He started his professional career as a copy editor, learning how to perfect a message so it reaches its intended audience; twenty-plus years later, his job is still basically the same, albeit in formats that were unimaginable back then.

Organic or paid, Instagram Story or LinkedIn Live, micro-influencer or employee advocates – there is a myriad of options available today.
When Joe isn’t thinking about social media strategy, employee advocacy, or paid media tactics, you can find him hanging out with his family or admiring his record collection.
