Connie Burke
In January 1985, a large group of pop stars descended upon Hollywood to record “We Are the World” for charity. Connie Burke was not among them. Instead, she hung her fresh college degrees, (in advertising, English and journalism) in the Technical Center offices of General Motors, where she honed her communications and PR chops. When GM needed to add a voice for their social media efforts, Connie decided it was time to step out of her darkened cubicle and into the light. She has 100 octane blood, collects Coca Cola memorabilia, rides a Suzuki Savage 650 and both her kids are chefs (one in pastry, one a culinary dude). Althought based in Detroit, she is typically in Chicago 3-4 times/month for work, and considers herself a Chi-Troiter. While Connie hasn’t yet won a Grammy for her social media efforts, she has achieved Silver Elite travel status & doesn’t get charged for extra bags.
