The New Way to Share Files: Dropbox

Hey guys this week I wanted to share with you the company Dropbox. Dropbox is a company that I heard about last year, at the time it seemed like it was still young but picking up speed. The company offers a solution for sharing files between computers and smart phones via a cloud. They do this by placing a folder on all of your machines and when you drop things into the folder it is uploaded to their online severs. This is great because not only does it mean that all of you files are synced between all devices, but it is also backed up. In case you drop or break one of your devises, which I am sure many of you have before. If you have not had the very unfortunate experience of loosing all of your files it might be hard to see the value in having everything backed up. This video below does a great job of explaining what they do in simple terms.

But back to the reason I am sharing this with you guys. They recently have received over 250 million in founding and I am sure this money means that this company is about to expand in a big way. The idea and business plan is great, however the current storage options and pricing are not that great. Im sure with this money we will see new jobs opening up as well as improvements in the service?! Hopefully anyways. The company is based out of San Francisco but if you like technology and would love to work with a young company with some amazing benefits this might be a good place to check out.

Linkable Networks: Clovr Media

          Hey guys this week I wanted to share with you another great company that is right down the road in Boston. Clovr Media has come up with a very useful new way of redeeming offers. The company has created a great solution to old types of offers such as (mail-in rebates, flashing loyalty cards, check-ins, tricky gimmicks, coupons, entering codes online...) The company has created a platform that links any ad(banner, text, video, moblile, and even print thanks to next-gen barecodes) directly to your bank account. All you have to do is click or scan any ad that has the "Linkable Network" logo on it, and after you purchase, Clovr gives you the savings. 

This technolegy has recently grabbed a lot of attention from many large venture capital firm, such as CityGroup. City and many others have began funding this company and it seems as though its future is looking good.

Boston Marketing Convention: FutureM

This week I would like to introduce to you guys this great marketing convention that I recently found out about. I am from the south shore and I am sure that many of you are live somewhere in New England or will be looking for jobs near Boston. FutureM would be a great event to participate in if you are looking to get into marketing or product management. This event was held a few weeks ago and attracts a very diverse and inspirational audience. The event last about a week and includes tons of scheduled events including, guest speakers, workshops, networking meals, and much more.

            The main purpose of this event is to inspire the people who work in the Boston area to continue to do the amazing work they do. They do this by bringing in some great companies from the area and having them work with people, and speak during the events. Many of these companies are on the very cutting edge of marketing and use social media as a major part of their marketing strategy. Many of these companies are hiring and this event would be a great place for anyone who is interested in finding a job in marketing or working in Boston.
