Soul Train is the longest running, first -run, nationally syndicated program in television history. During its 37 year run, the show featured such staples as the Soul Train line and performers as important and diverse as Al Green, Ike & Tina Turner, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Whitney Houston, David Bowie, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson and Beyoncé.

In the fall of 2009, SMG was recruited to oversee the editorial content and social media engagement duties of the to-be-launched SoulTrain.com. A small editorial staff was immediately assembled, and when the site launched officially on November 30, 2009, SMG live-tweeted the broadcast of the Soul Train Awards, raising awareness and driving traffic to the brand’s official online destination.

Editorial responsibility remains with SMG which includes maintaining overall editorial concept and tone of the site, recruiting and managing freelance contributors, developing the monthly editorial calendar, as well as writing and producing attention-grabbing, media-rich content that brings visitors back to the site daily. SMG also continues to foster  social media relationships on behalf of Soul Train on both Facebook and Twitter.
