Great to see you on line. Hope all is well with you. We are having an outstanding year...in spite of the economy and the flood ravaging our World Headquarters building. It's "Business as Usual" for all our business units and we are working hard to make hay while the sun shines.
See you in NYC in Sept?
Best Regards.
Glad to hear you are well and active. The world of b-to-b M&A is pretty much where you would expect it to be. With debt tight, the Private Equity buyers are slowing down and focusing on integrating what they already have. Whitestone has a client that is a worldwide leader in a major industrial sector with magazines, conferences and an online service. The key strategics are interested and sending the right signals. I am a happy guy.

If this is a repeat of a message I left last week on the ABM social media group, then please ignore. Otherwise, how are you doing?

If you didn't know better, you might think I couldn't keep a job for more than five years. The nice thing about working for Primedia, Prism and Penton is that I didn't have to change my monogrammed towels at home. Tough going in publishing these days, especially for those who don't see how we've got to change our model to more fully reach the marketplace. I see too many people inside still resisting the changes. What do you see going on out there?
Now that you are here, please feel free to style your profile, upload photos and images and videos from your publication, its events and your company or let your opinion be heard by posting a a blog. If you've already got a blog, you can easily embed it in your profile via an RSS feed.
You can also browse, join and start groups to get connected to industry vets who share a similar interest or are from your area. Each group has its own forum, allowing users to engage in lively discussions on hot topics and ideas.
And be sure to use the 'Invite' tab to invite EVERY magazine, eMedia and pubilishing professional you know to join you on MediaPRO. You can easily upload your e-mail contacts in minutes. Or simply send out an e-mail to every industry pro you know, add a bulletin on Facebook or Myspace ... whatever it takes to help MediaPRO become the largest community for the magazine, eMedia and publishing industry.
Thanks
The FOLIO: Team
