Durbin Media Group News

Just a couple of quick notes:

Franki was interviewed about business blogging for the St Louis Post-Dispatch, and we expect to see the article come out next week.  She's also been blogging up a storm at Brandstorming, our marketing blog.

I'm quoted in an article about corporate blogging in the Fall Issue of the Northeastern University Alumni magazine in an article written by Eileen McCluskey (a great researcher and freelance reporter).  Brian Toland, Anil Dash, and Heather Hamilton are also in the article (it's not up on line just yet).

This December, I'll be keynoting the AACE Fall 2006 Conference at Hendrix College in Conway, AR.  Marketing materials are coming up for this college recruiting conference, and my keynote will be on the use of MySpace and other online tools for Career Counselors and Corporate College Recruiters.  Steven Rothberg generously suggested me for that role.

In January, the local chapter of the Society for Information Management will have me in to speak on the role blogging can play in the corporate world.  SIM-STL is open only to Director Level and above, but is a great place to network for Senior Technology Executives.

And we're also launching three new local recruiting blogs, CharlotteRecruiting (live), SeattleRecruiting (live), and KCRecruiting (almost live).

For the local audience:  I'll be forwading information on different ways to use StlRecruiting to improve your web presence and hire more people.  If you're interested in having me come speak or consult with on a local recruiting strategy, please e-mail me at jdurbin@durbinmedia.com
