Moncur Associates grows social media biz with 4 new jobs

David Moncur has noticed a shift in the social media landscape over the last year, moving away from tech and more toward strong online communities. That movement has allowed the Troy-based firm to grow in 2012. The 20-year-old company has hired four people, primarily in social media community management in the last nine months. It is looking for about a half dozen more social media professionals right now. "Our business in Michigan is growing," says David Moncur, principal & founder of Moncur Associates. "I see that as a really positive sign for our economy." Moncur expects to continue to grow his Michigan-based client base, especially in Metro Detroit. He sees an uptick in companies looking to help manage their social media presence. "Businesses are ready for it and we're ready," Moncur says. "That has been really positive for us."
