about folkmedia
what is folkmedia consulting?
Social media - but make it Jewish! Social media is an important part of modern marketing, especially when 72% of adults in the U.S. use social media (Pew Research Center). However, hiring an expert or a full-time social media employee can be a large hinderance for small organizations. FolkMedia Consulting is fee-for-service digital and social media management and coaching for Jewish organizations. We offer a variety of basic and targeted services for a fraction of the cost, all while speaking the same language.
A Project by Jewfolk, Inc.
Based out of Minnesota, Jewfolk, Inc. serves as a parent organization to a variety of digital-based properties celebrating 10,000 ways to be Jewish, including FolkMedia Consulting. TC Jewfolk reports on local Jewish news for the Twin Cities community, as well as national Jewish news from a local perspective. The Jewfolk Podcast Network includes four in-house podcasts as well as production assistance for out-of-house shows. Jewfolk also manages several Facebook groups that connect Jewish mothers, artists, and professionals around Minneapolis-St. Paul.

Libby Goldstein Parker
Libby Goldstein Parker (she/her) is the Executive Director of Jewfolk, Inc. Libby grew up in warmer climes (think southern California and Las Vegas) but has made Minneapolis her home since 2007 where she happily takes full advantage of the fantastic schools, the quality of life and, of course, the weather. With three kids, there isn’t much free time, but Libby’s husband keeps insisting they are going to get out into nature and be very active. Libby comes from a career in non-profit, foundation, and Jewish communal work and could not be more excited to meet you at a local community event, get a coffee with you, or hear from you via email (listed below).
