As COO, Sean runs strategic point on c3’s clients and manages the collective c3 PR team. He oversees many of the national tours, shows and engagements c3 promotes each year as well as the franchise and multi-unit based consumer product clients for the agency because of his vast experience in franchising.

A great example of this speaks to the social media work he did on the Miami International Boat Show® (largest boat show in the USA) Sean single-handedly got the show certified on Twitter. It is still the only boat show to date on Twitter to obtain this distinction.

A business veteran, prior to c3, Sean was COO for Certified Software Solutions, where he also managed the company’s operations, marketing and public relations efforts.
