Meet Your Host Josh Klemons

I’m Josh Klemons, a Digital Storyteller and Strategist and the founder of Reverbal Communications. I help brands of all shapes and sizes find, hone and tell their stories online.

I learned the craft of digital storytelling and organizing doing digital work on local, statewide and national political campaigns. I still spend part of my time working in politics, and the rest working with all kinds of brands, from small non-profits and solopreneurs to Fortune 500 companies and everyone in between.

I write, train, consult and present regularly on social media and digital marketing. I’m also an avid fan of podcasts. I hope you learn from — and enjoy listening to — Step Up Your Social as much as I enjoy making it.

My motto is simple: You Have A Story… Let’s Tell It!
