GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - WOOD TV8 is excited to announce its hiring of Rob Bliss, who is known by many in West Michigan for organizing massive free events through social media.

Bliss will be working as a multi-platform account executive with WOOD. We believe Rob Bliss’ social media skills and WOOD TV’s strong commitment to serving West Michigan viewers and clients will be a powerful combination.

WOOD TV8 is thrilled to have Bliss on its team as we strive to reach a new generation of media consumers.

“Within the last year, we’ve implemented a number of changes within the station to put an emphasis on the multi-platform nature of our business," General Manager Diane Kniowski said. "We’re excited to bring Rob’s expertise with social media into this fold.”

Bliss received Grand Rapids Business Journal’s Top 40 under 40 Business Leaders Award in 2009. He was named Communicator of the Year by West Michigan Public Relations Society. His free events in the past year included a combined attendance of 50,000 people.
