about miiko
Miiko Mentz is a social media marketer, blogger, videographer/editor, and former dancer. She currently works at Katalyst, which Fast Company recently named as one of the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in the advertising and marketing space. At Katalyst, she works with an incredibly creative and innovative team and together they deliver original programming for social media campaigns for brands such as Pepsi, Nestlé, Kellogg and many others.

Prior to Katalyst, Miiko was the senior director of New Media & Digital PR at FutureWorks, a Silicon Valley social media strategy and digital PR company, founded by Brian Solis. While at FutureWorks, she also produced videos and blogged at Bubblicious, a blog started by Brian Solis that covers the Social Economy.

And when she finds a little extra time, she blogs at pinkMOXIE, her personal lifestyle blog where she writes about everything from culture, society and career to health, beauty, music and other musings.

Over the years, Miiko's PR and social media work has helped numerous companies to increase their brand awareness, visibility and credibility among industry influencers and consumers. Some of her favorites are Signal Patterns (health, wellness and psychology-based Web and mobile apps); MindTouch (open source enterprise collaboration); WebSideStory (Web analytics, acquired by Omniture); MonsterGecko (PC gaming); IFC.com (voices of independent culture – film, music and politics); and most recently The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (an original and unique luxury resort opening on the Las Vegas Strip December 15, 2010).

She has also produced and worked on numerous video and television productions, from satellite backhauls with Court TV and PBS' The News Hour with Jim Lehrer to interviews with Silicon Valley CEOs, startup founders and celebrities, such as Apple Computers Co-founder Steve Wozniak, Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales and Jermaine Dupri, record producer and Grammy-winning songwriter. Check out her videos at BubTV or on her blip.tv and YouTube channels.

Miiko has performed in numerous productions from musical theater to dance concerts. She studied dance (ballet, contemporary/modern, jazz, and just enough tap and hip-hop to get by in auditions) from the time she was six years old on up into her 20s. In addition to social media and videography, dance and music are two passions of hers, and you can still find her from time to time catching a class for fun at some of her favorites dance studios.

Miiko holds a B.S. degree in public relations from San Jose State University, and an A.A. degree in television and video production from De Anza College.
