EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. and NEW YORK, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MWW Group (www.mww.com), one of the five largest independent public relations firms worldwide, announced today the addition of three new hires to Dialogue Digital, the company's wholly-owned digital marketing/social media group and visual branding practice. The new hires – Ben Aronson, Digital Strategist, Rebecca Barlow, Digital Programmer and Jovanna Greenidge, Dialogue Digital Assistant – bring experience in digital media and social media marketing, as well as a strong entrepreneurial spirit, to the industry-renowned team.

The new additions to MWW Group's Dialogue Digital practice are:

• Ben Aronson, Digital Strategist, will help create innovative and groundbreaking strategies to help brands engage with their markets through digital and social media outlets.  Prior to joining MWW, Aronson spent four years running his own digital media agency, Tao Experience.  As seen on Fox and CNN, Aronson has also produced a variety of original content, from feature length films to online television series, and garnered national acclaim for creating Break'N Through, a young, edgy online reality competition series to uncover the top unsigned original music talent. Aronson has worked with top brands including TWIX, Sprite, Red Bull, Microsoft, Boost Mobile, Coors Light, Baja Fresh, and celebrities including The-Dream, Allison Hagendorf, Jadakiss, Ryan Leslie, Drake, and Dee Snider.  Aronson holds a B.S. in Finance and Marketing from Lehigh University and an MBA from Rutgers University.
