HubbubPR -- First clients
Dear community:
Well, the time has come to pull the wraps off my business, and we are making an announcement -- an old fashioned press release, pointing to a "beta" site -- in the next 48 hours. Agency name? HubbubPR (big surprise), and I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you about the client engagements we've got so far. There's a new community-based business model that we will discuss throughout the week -- see article in PRWeek.
SAP -- we're working with Mike Prosceno in the corporate communications group to develop a new kind of social-media program. This is a very exciting project involving some of the best PR people I have ever met (Geoff Kerr is part of the group).
JAJAH -- we're working with this new and disruptive VOIP killer (more on that soon) to build its presence on the global scene -- a perfect assignment for HubbubPR, which offers a new way to do global PR.
Socialtext -- client, partner, advisor, landlord, friend -- Socialtext is all of these, and we are integrating deeply with them to bring Enterprise 2.0 to the mainstream market.
Berggi -- start-up in stealth -- 'nuff said.
Eastwick -- our alma mater, and good friends, and we are working together on several interesting social-media projects.
A lot more stuff to write about, but the week has already begun, and we've got work to do, and promises to keep, and miles to go before we sleep.
Congrats Giovanni! Best of luck to you on this new adventure of yours. The client list is impressive and I know this is just the tip of the iceberg for you.
Cheers.

Congrats Giovanni, and on your PR week gig. I often tell people you were the first blogger who EVER linked to Media Orchard -- thanks again for getting me started.

Congratulations Giovanni,
I've been following your progress through the world of social media since the session that you led at the PRSA Counselors Academy in Phoenix in May 2005.
This is a great initiative and I wish you every success with it.

Giovanni, I am glad we had a chance to chat at the conference in Boston. Congratulations on the new company. Have you seen James Governor's MonkChips article about SAP?

Thanks, John. I did see the James Governor post about "blogger relations." That's the one, correct? Very good piece. One of his questions -- "where on earth is your blog though, Mike?" -- will soon be answered.

Be careful with how you promote Berggi as they are about a year behind. There are several other companies have been providing email and IM to lower level mobile phones for some time. Companies like http://www.movamail.com, http://www.tricastmedia.com, and others. Berggi is charging $9.95 a month while Movamail is only $2.95.
