Bio
Shannon Fales
In my time at REBNY, Amanda took its social media from practically nonexistent to dynamic and interesting. She also undertook the redesign of REBNY's website, a massive project, from the ground up and produced a modern, clean website with better member interactions and usefulness to the public. Besides all of that, Amanda is great to work with - patient, eager to explain anything you don't know, and happy to pitch in with whatever is needed.

Amanda is our product manager for the REBNY.com website. She led the design and analysis phase with DCF advertising, she researched and screened 6 different cms platforms to find one that is the best fit and to address not only the current requirements but find a solution that grows with the company as well. REBNY's web presence is just beginning and there are many potential web offerings that Amanda envisions. After choosing Adobe AEM and negotiating the licensing pricing that suits REBNY, she researched and screened Adobe AEM consulting firms to help us with customization. REBNY's business requirements are very unique so there are a lot of complex components, it goes beyond the typical cms, so assembling the right team and making it click is paramount. The design team is in NY and half of the technical team is in CA but she was able to overcoming obstacles both technical and organizational to make everything work. In spite of her workload, she found time to learn and code AEM components. Her attention to detail, technical and artistic skills, and her can-do mentality are very impressive.
