Interview: Pete Blackshaw, Intelliseek - August 16, 2005

In this edition of For Immediate Release podcast interviews, Shel and Neville enjoyed a 36-minute conversation with Pete Blackshaw, Chief Marketing and Customer Satisfaction Officer of Intelliseek, Inc, the company behind Blogpulse and Brandpulse. Topics and themes discussed include: consumer motivation and word-of-mouth marketing; measurement metrics; comparing blog search tools and what may develop in a period of Furious Innovation; new dynamics to emerge; customer experiences.

About our conversation partner:

Pete Blackshaw is a recognized expert in interactive marketing, word-of-mouth behavior and consumer understanding. Throughout Pete’s varied experiences in marketing, government, consumer affairs and entrepreneurship runs a common theme – the power of the internet to give individuals a voice and change the way things are done.

At Intelliseek, Pete manages the overall marketing strategy for the company and oversees client engagements and consulting projects. He also leads the firm’s popular webinar series.

Pete is the 2004 co-founder of the Word-of-Mouth Marketing Association, one of the fastest-growing industry organizations in the US in advertising and marketing circles, and he co-authors a bi-weekly column on digital marketing strategies for JupiterMedia’s ClickZ network.

Before receiving his master’s degree from Harvard Business School in 1995, Pete served as a press secretary and legislative consultant to then-Sen. Art Torres in the California legislature, where he guided several consumer-focused bills to passage and initiated the first “interactive” legislative hearing in the US. He has a bachelor of arts degree from the University of California at Santa Cruz.

Interview - Constantin Basturea - August 10, 2005

In this edition of For Immediate Release podcast interviews, Shel and Neville enjoyed a 45-minute conversation with Constantin Basturea, the man behind The New PR Wiki and Global PR Blog Weeks I and II.

About our conversation partner:

imageOriginally from Romania, Constantin Basturea (pronounced BahshTUra) came to the US when his wife opted to pursue a PhD. Settling in Miami, Florida, Constantin decided to take the opportunity to obtain his own Master’s Degree in public relations at the University of Miami. Since then, he has become a one-man resource for the global public relations profession, building tools that make it easier for PR practitioners to understand and apply the tools of social media. These include a wiki called The New PR, an annual online professional development event titled Global PR Blog Week, a PR headline service, and a comprehensive PR-focused del.icio.us bookmark listing.
