Bio:
I’ve spent a lot of time re-thinking workplace, recruitment, hiring and staffing as well as intentionally standing in the intersections between work and people. It’s a new day and I think we’re deep into the era of the collaborative work-space.. That means new people are required who already think a bit differently about how to get something done.
Often, the most successful companies (media or not) have a legion of people who can effectively tell a story, whether it be their own or someone else’s. Also, the new people are not strictly within a (younger) demographic, but simply those who use sharing first as their participation and communication.
The future of media (unlike now) has people from communities who were once isolated (or who isolated themselves) through entrenched silos. These consumers are now actively engaged, barriers to entry are almost gone and growth (not just surviving) will happen by talking horizontally, not vertically.
So, what’s your next big thing? Let’s connect some dots….
