General

Name	Laura Byrne
About Me	Laura started off her career with educational non-profits, where marketing was part of everyone’s job description. After dabbling in in Microsoft FrontPage for a few years, Laura found WordPress in 2006 when she and a friend decided to build a website with a blog and forum for fans to discuss a then little-known book called Twilight. What started out as an obscure website, rapidly grew into the most popular Twilight website on the internet with millions of visitors each day from around the globe. Thrust into a vortex of viral website management meets Hollywood, Laura’s marketing arsenal exponentially grew, as she hit the ground running with new skill sets in SEO, social media strategy, podcasting, event management, and more. These days, Laura works for WebDev Studios as an account manager. She’s created/written content for over 100 WordPress sites mostly in the non-profit and entertainment worlds. Laura currently resides in North NJ.
