Natalie Paulsen is the Director of Business Development at Sacramento marketing firm, 3fold Communications. While experimenting with the popular social networking tool, Twitter, Natalie realized it could be used to identify a local business that was not only using social media, but using it well. She simply started to pay attention to the people and organizations that were establishing a clear presence and gaining popularity in the world of social media. Eventually, her instincts and 140-character conversations led her to a handful of 3fold employees (as well as the business owner). With company culture at the top of her list of professional requirements, Natalie started to forge relationships with individuals that shared her enthusiasm, interests and now…an office space.
