In The VON Innovators Circle

Yesterday the news broke about 65 companies that the VON and PulverMedia team consider innovators with the launch of the VON Innovators Award. I’m happy to say that of the 65 companies I’m aligned with five of them, four of which I advise or which my agency, Comunicano handles their external communications.

Congratulations to Agito Networks, iotum, SightSpeed, TalkPlus and the Thomas Howe Company.

As an advisor I’m elated to be associated with a series of companies which are viewed as “Innovators” for that’s where we find the most fun and excitement is in the space. What’s more, the group of people associated with each company are all cut from the kind of cloth that makes every discussion and opportunity very interesting.

In 2007 we had six of the Pulver 100 Companies. With the cutting back to only 65 awards, and with five winning companies, it looks like my batting average went up. Thanks to the judges for recognizing whose best and for Carl and Doug for organizing an awards program where it didn’t cost anyone to be considered.
