Dear Ned,
I have been a subscriber to JOTW for three years now and find it extremely useful and enjoy reading it every week. Thanks for all you do.
I am a media professional with an extensive background in broadcasting in Washington DC with major corporations. Utilizing my experience and background in media and communications tools, I've created my own company FlipSonic, which produces podcasts, audio press kits and more for a diverse group of clients in enhancing their communications strategy through the use of audio.
FlipSonic works with a variety of clients, from million member associations to MTVNetworks/Urge to one of the top labor law firms in the country. We design audio packages to enhance the effectiveness of our clients communication strategy on the web, on the air, in a meeting, or for internal training purposes.
Many of clients our are especially interested in podcasting as a way to enhance their newsletters, record meetings and share content, promotion or fundraising. There are over 100,000,000 million Ipod users in the U.S. alone.
I'd appreciate it if you could help spread the word to JOTW readers as I am confidant FlipSonic would be a unique and effective outside resource for a variety of communications professionals and companies looking to take advantage of digital media and to enhance their overall strategy with creative content.
