The Clickable Search Engine Marketing Blog

I'm rounding out my seventh month here at Clickable, and I think it's about time I introduce myself on the Clickable blog. Hello, world! I'm Patrick Chen, and I run Marketing Operations for Clickable. These past few months at Clickable have been, in a word, intense! There are so many great initiatives going on -- from launching our 3.0 product to rapidly developing on new social APIs -- Clickable has been an absolute whirlwind of activity. It's no wonder it took me seven months to finally put up a blog post!

To tell you a bit more about myself, I came to Clickable right after earning my MBA at NYU Stern. Prior to grad school, I lived out in the SF Bay Area (go Niners!), working at tech companies like eBay, VentureBeat, and Quinstreet, mainly focused on Search Engine Marketing. Strangely enough, I was also once a Thermal Engineer at Intel and earned my Mechanical Engineering degree from Stanford. If you ever need to know why your laptop overheated, I can certainly help you out.

What brings me to Clickable is a passion for the technical side of online marketing and building great products that help push businesses forward. Clickable helps businesses not only navigate, but also dominate the increasingly complex world of search and social marketing. There's no better feeling than helping others succeed, and at Clickable, that's what we try to accomplish, day in and day out.

When I'm not burning the midnight oil in our Flatiron offices, I'm at home in Jersey. I'm also a fanatical gamer and run my own game review community site called PopuGamer. When I'm away from the computer, I enjoy drinking espresso, road biking, and travelling back to my hometown in California to see family and friends.

I'm psyched for the new year and for all the amazing product updates and events we've got lined up. I hope to blog again soon, but in the meantime; you can always catch me on Twitter. Thanks for reading!
