Rebecca Lieb (that's me) is the Altimeter Group's digital advertising/media analyst. I'm also a columnist, journalist, author and speaker.

Earlier, I was vice president at Econsultancy, where I launched the company's U.S. operations and grew them to profitability in a year's time.

I was VP and editor-in-chief of The ClickZ Network for over seven years. I spent part of that time running the redoubtable SearchEngineWatch.com,  too.  I also do a ton of public speaking on topics related to interactive marketing, advertising and digital media, as well as consulting on digital content strategy and search engine optimization.

In my copious free time, I write books. The Truth About Search Engine Optimization was published by Pearson Publishing's Financial Times imprint in 2009 - and it instantly became a best seller on Amazon. An updated edition will publish soon. My most recent book, Content Marketing, published in October, 2011.

While I struggle to find the time to put together my own site, you can meanwhile learn more about me on LinkedIn or Facebook or good old Google. Or read my biweekly column in iMediaConnection.

Or try following my tweets. My Twitter handle is @lieblink.

Of course, you can always just drop me an email: rebecca [at] rebeccalieb.com
