The Cultural Marketplace

Friday 8 June 2007

Intro

Welcome.

It's Friday and I'm in a good mood. I suppose the first post must always be one of the hardest. How do I start this blog? What shall I say? Oh well, I guess I just did.

I think the best thing to do is introduce myself and the others: We are three young lawyers working in the City of London. With our hard-earned cash and keen minds, we have decided to build a trusted network of young business professionals with whom we can share contacts, information and lifestyles.

The website is currently being developed by Zerofee (www.zerofee.org) and Firefli Systems (www.fireflisystems.com) and the private beta will be opening at the end of August 2007.

Whilst we wait, it's all about spreading the word. We have been covered in the national press by the Sunday Times Style magazine who focused on the "creative second life" concept within MeshMinds.com, reporting on the fact that there are a great number of business professionals out there who work as hard in their time out of the office as in. Mesh will be providing our creative second lifers with tools to help organise their projects and a network of like-minded people with whom to collaborate. That's just one aspect of the Mesh project... we have a long sleeve and it's jam-packed with ideas. If you would like to cover Mesh, please email us: mesh@meshminds.com and we will send you our press release.

Coming up over the next few weeks will be coverage of the 4Talent seminar - an audience with Martha Lane Fox of LastMinute.com, James Fabricant, Head of Marketing and Content for MySpace UK & Ireland, James Kirkham from digital strategists Holler - developers of the marketing campaign for E4's Skins - and Adam Gee, Channel 4's Commissioning Editor, New Media Factual.

In the mean time, have a superb weekend and thank you for reading.
