X Media Lab - A Blast

by Chris Gilbey at 01:10PM (EST) on August 14, 2006 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

I can truly report that the X Media Lab mentorship program in Melbourne over the last weekend was a total blast. I sat in as a mentor for some companies - and also sat in on our One Minute World project with a number of mentors from various companies and backgrounds...

Here is a quick overview on some of the mentors and their experience

Chloe Sladden - VP Strategic Partnerships at Current TV. Current TV is the interactive TV play that was initiated by Al Gore in the US. Very interesting propostion with a considerable amount of consumer created content. Chloe has tremendous experience in TV, consumer created content - brilliant!

Brian Seth Hurst - CEO, Opportunity Management. Here is another person with a big vision and an even bigger heart. Great guy who has been involved in developing interface design for companies like TiVo, AOL and many others. This guy has an intimate knowledge of TV and Internet convergence.

Jennifer Lewis - Cross Media Editor for The Straits Times. Jennifer has been responsible for the vision and execution of bringing the oldest newspaper in Singapore into the 21st Century by creating a citizen journalism play called STOMP. A revolutionary play.

Paul Daly - Director - Innovation at M.Net. M-Net is a play that brings together Telstra, Alcatel and Channel 7 in Australia to create and leverage content into the mobile space. He has extensive experience in the space and is a very calm and clear thinker. Fantastic to get access to his mind.

Neeraj Roy - MD and CEO, Hungama Mobile. Neeraj runs a mobile company in Mumbai that has access to more Bollywood content than any other company in the world. His company delivers content across a huge percentage of the global population and he is one the of the most connected people in the space anywhere. And a fantastic guy too!

Brad Keeling - famous in Australia as part of the original One Tel team, Brad remains a truly gifted marketer and has is now VP Marketing of Slice Wireless, one of the big mobile media publishers in Europe. Brad has an enormous understanding of the mobile content market world wide.

Each one of these mentors has a tremendous amount of experience. These were just a few of the people that I met over the weekend. All very approachable too.

I pay credit to Meegan Elliot and Brendan Harkin for putting the event together!

Perceptric Forum

This Forum is where the partners in Perceptric Limited invite you to join us and explore issues that impact on business, consumers and communications.

Perceptric's mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations.

The essence of this mission is for us to be clear thinking about business and change. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.

Each of the partners in Perceptric has been extremely successful in their chosen field by working this way. More than theory we each know it works.

As a company we work with our clients in the United States, Asia and Pacific regions, including Australia, to maximize their opportunities in an ever accelerating change environment.
