newsweek: yahoonews: storyboard: Meet the Woman Behind Barack Obama’s Online Persona You’ve most definitely seen it by now. Michelle Obama, wearing a red-and-white checkered dress, stands with her back to the camera. Her arms are wrapped around her husband, the hints of a smile lingering on the edges of his lips. “Four more years,” reads the text, which was posted on the Obama campaign’s social media accounts around 11:15 p.m. on election night‚ just as it became clear the president had won a second term.  The photo, taken by a campaign photographer just a few days into the job, pretty much won the Internet: 816,000 retweets, the most likes ever on Facebook; thousands of reblogs on Tumblr. And yet it wasn’t chosen by the president’s press secretary, or even a senior-level operative, but by 31-year-old Laura Olin, a social media strategist who’d been up since 4 am. For the first time since the campaign ended, she talked to Tumblr, in partnership with The Daily Beast, about what it’s like being the voice of the President — where millions of people, and a ravenous press, await your every grammatical error. Excerpts: So how does it actually work… being the voice of the President? Who makes the decisions about what to post? All of our decisions were made in house—in Chicago, mostly—so we weren’t getting direct directives from the White House or anything. But we [tried] as much as possible to have voices for each account, so depending on the message—because we had all these channels—we had an appropriate place to put it. Obviously some stuff was sufficiently huge so that it went everywhere, but as much as possible we tried to tailor the message for the channel and the audience. It must be daunting. It was kind of terrifying, actually. My team ran the Barack Obama Twitter handle, which I think was probably most susceptible to really embarrassing and silly mistakes. We didn’t ever really have one, which I still can’t believe I pulled off. Read More A great profile of the woman behind the President’s social accounts We teamed up with Tumblr’s Storyboard to bring you a profile and a Q&A of the 31-year-old woman and her small group of Internet troopers who together ran Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and Joe Biden’s social media accounts (yes, this includes the Obama tumblr!).  Really had fun with this one.
