Park Cities Mom, Social Media Strategist and Southern Belle - all in one.

She has champagne tastes on a soda pop budget, is over 40 and holding her own in a city known for its Southern beauties, is a Type-A multi-tasker, girly-girl and lover of shoes. But, most importantly, she is Mother to a 10-year old boy who is chock full of awesomesauce.

If you are going to be her friend – get used to having your picture taken! What happens in her life ends up on this Blog, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Cynthia's life is an open book and all the messy details can be read about on her blog (much to the chagrin of her husband).

Cynthia Smoot owns Gangway, an advertising agency in Dallas, with her husband. She spends her day on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Foursquare and more (so many more sites!) creating social media strategies for clients.
