King Content

Here is a picture from Jemima Kiss' Flickr photostream. She was a reporter who covered the London Media Summit for paidcontent.org (an excellent media blog.) This is a picture of "my" panel, Content Creativity and Cash.

The 2006 London Media Summit, which I have been working on for the past few months, finally happened on Friday. It was a full day of Media Industry keynotes and panels on the topic of "Compelling Content". As the treasurer of the Media Club at London Business School, I had to keep track of the accounts and ticket sales, maintain the website (http://www.londonmediasummit.com) and manage one of the panels ("Content, Creativity and Cash"). It was a hugely successful event and there are already stories popping up in the FT, paidcontent.org, and CBS MarketWatch (mainly about EMI CEO Alain Levy's keynote speach where he announced the death of the CD.)

Working on the event has definitely given me some new found respect for event organisers. I am now just looking forward to life returning to something resembling "normal". I have a lot of work in my classes this term (Analytical Marketing, New Venture Development and Negotitations & Bargaining) and also have been busy in the job search. This week alone I have 3 interviews with some consultancies and am hoping to hear back from a major technology company about whether they want to interview me or not.

Six weeks left in the term, and then I am headed to Argentina with my Rugby Club and then back to New York for Christmas with the family and New Year's with some friends.

This is my return to the Internet.

I first published kingcontent.com in 1997, before blogging was part of the lexicon. I had some problems determining what I should use this site for (kingcontent was originally a site for several creative types to share information and content) but have resorted to making it a place where I can share the few updates about my life that some people may care about.

There is some work being done in the kingcontent arena (consulting for specific media, telecommunications and Internet companies) however this site is more personal and is not neccesarily about the work being done by kingcontent, the company.
