On the Radar
What good is going to a meet-and-greet if the folks you really want to meet aren’t going to be there?
When Collective Bias first started talking about our Speed Dating event at BlogWorld & New Media Expo 2009, the first thing we realized is that we needed to get in touch with our community to see which brands they wanted to meet at #cbbwe.
We started by asking members of our Collective Bias beta community what brands they would invite to participate if they could. The response was pretty good! It turns out there are some brands that are already participating in social media events that they’d like to see more of, and some brands they think really ought to start showing up!
So make your voice heard – if we are sending out invitations to brands to show up and participate, who is on your radar? Who do you want to meet with because you know they ‘get’ social media but you haven’t had the chance to meet them yet? Who are you surprised hasn’t shown up at these events yet but you think needs to be?
You tell us.
Use the form below to let us know and we’ll do our best to get them to hear you!
Of course, we’re also interested in getting bloggers on the radar of those brands – so if you are a blogger who wants to get on their dance card at Speed Dating Collective Bias Style?
Leave us a comment below.
Make sure to leave a link to your blog(s) and a brief description (think 2-3 sentences at most!) telling us what it’s about and who reads it. Think “personals ad for would-be speed dating blogger” and you’ll get it!
I’m putting my dance card in the bowl! I would love to be involved in the speed dating.
