Video From The First Boston-Area Startup Marketing Meetup

Last night we held the first Boston-Area Startup Marketing Meetup here at Aprigo’s world headquarters in Waltham. I gave a presentation entitled “Getting Your Startup Noticed Online”. It was mostly tactical and focused on execution and content promotion, with a little bit of strategy sprinkled in.

Marketing Profs B-to-B Forum Session 2: Developing Robust Online Content to Keep Prospects and Customers Engaged

I’m really excited about this one, as I love Christopher S. Penn’s presentation style. He always gives usuable, actionable tactics that can be used immediately. That’s a rarity in a lot of conferences I go to. There’s a lot of high-level social media kumbaya, “join the conversation” talk, and things like that, but Christopher does [...]

Today is day two at my new job as marketing manager for aprigo. Though I can’t say much about the company right now, I can say that it’s a SaaS startup out of Waltham, [...]

Using Springpad To Plan Valentine’s Day

Springpad, the service that offers online notebooks to manage tasks, (covered here in November) has just launched a Date planner springpad to help you plan Valentine’s Day. While that alone isn’t all that newsworthy, what was really interesting to me is how far the springpad application has come in terms of integrating with other sites. [...]

YouIntern- Bringing Students and Employers Together

I was just pointed to YouIntern.com this morning, a site that acts as an intermediary between employers and students looking for internships. Students can find, apply for, and review internships. The site is currently focused on advertising and marketing internships, but the company plans on extending its reach into other industries.
