OK. I am back. It has been over 6 weeks since my last post - not very 2.0!
Anyway, I am back on-line and glad to be here. So much has happened in the last few weeks with me so here is a brief update.
1. I left VNU after 13 years. With the break-up of VNU Business Media Europe, the VNU Global Media US office is being shut down. Watch this space for updates on the new sales agents. It was a great run at VNU but the timing is perfect for me to jump head first into a brave new world of tech media.
2. I joined BrightTALK, Europe's leading rich media webcasting company and the global leader online conferences with our e-Symposium series. Alot more on this later ;-)
3. I have been educating myself like mad to learn the language of this new world - APIs, Akami, Open Source programming, Jive, Extensible and more and more and more...but while there is a whole new language, the game hasn't really changed. Stay close to your customer and your readers, be open to change and lead (or closely follow).
4. I have branched out in my spare time with a start-up called TechChex where I am on their Advisory Council. More news here next week but look out SMB media and tech services, a change is coming.
5. On a personal note. I just turned 40 so of course I had to go on a massive diet - 40 is the new 30, right?!. I did lose 50 lbs in the last 8 weeks so least my clothes fit. No surgery, booze, fat or junk food. My doctor is happy and so am I ;-)
OK. I am back so keep watching and posting.....
I am sitting in a class full of marketeers and pr consultants learning about Online PR. and got directed - by the teacher - to this site & came across your blog.
This is great!
Becca.
