Curt Anderson, SBDC at JCC

Curt Anderson, the Business Advisor at the Small Business Development Center at Jamestown Community College, spoke to the Noon Rotary during the June 29 meeting. With the help of Simone Mullinax, a member of the JCC communications faculty who teaches a social media course, Curt launched a program that partners Mullinax's students as paid interns with local manufacturers to help these local businesses make a great digital first impression. Curt said 94 percent of businesses with a marketing department make use of social media, and it's not always possible for so-called "digital immigrants" -- those born prior to 1980 or so -- to make the leap into the world of social media and modern web design. Local clients include The Resource Center, Borsari Foods, Jamestown Mattress Co., and Triple E Manufacturing.
