Terence Washington
Terence is 3BL Media’s newly minted Online Communications Architect, and along with David, helms and directs all the company’s Social Communications Strategies. When he isn’t biding his time supplying Reginald with quotable material to put up on his Facebook or thoughts of world domination, he’s constructing avenues on the world wide web where corporations and individuals can find meaningful eyes for their socially responsible content and cause driven media. Terence also works in the Editorial Department of 3BL Media, creating a dialogue of interest between a highly mobilized audience and a professional, albeit fun, network of CSR and Sustainability Writers and Bloggers.
