Director of Optimized Content
Email: joe @ bluetraffic.com
Joe Winn has been the Director of Content Development and an Internet Marketing Specialist at Blue Traffic since 2008. His primary responsibilities include developing unique website content, conducting competitor research, and implementing advanced search engine optimization strategies for clients in a variety of industries.
Joe is a Houston native who lived in Texas for all of 18 months, before his parents realized his fair skin would inhibit him from living a happy and healthy life in the deep south. He graduated from the University of Iowa in a little less than half of a decade, earning degrees in Journalism and Mass Communication and Communication Studies, as well as a minor in English. His name never appeared on the Iowa City police blotter, one of the extraordinary scholastic achievements of our time.
His personal interests include grilling things that were once alive, yelling at the television in hopes Kirk Ferentz will heed his advice, and convincing his fiancee that football really isn’t that important to him. View Joe’s recent posts here.
