On Moving On and Jugnoo




So, if you ever read my bio (whether here on the blog’s sidebar, or on any of my social networks), you may have noticed that I recently updated my professional description.

Whereas before it was for Bonsai Interactive, as of last week it became Jugnoo, Inc. So, what was the change?

Simple – I’ve stepped down from my role at Bonsai to become Director of Retention and Social Media at Jugnoo, Inc.

While my time at Bonsai was fun, and we were lucky enough to work with some great clients, the direction began to change in the last few months and I felt it was time to move on.

Enter Jugnoo.

I’ve known the VP of Marketing at Jugnoo for a while – Hessie Jones – and we just got chatting about a few things. She told me about Jugnoo and my interest was piqued. Cue some more conversations, and I was delighted to join the team.

So what the heck is Jugnoo? Well, here’s the official blurb:

Making Your Business Social is Our Business!
As an internet media technology company, Jugnoo gives both consumers and businesses the tools and services they need to stand out on the social web. Up to now, it’s generally been larger corporations that have had the time, resources and knowledge to truly benefit from the social web. Jugnoo intends to level the playing field for the benefit of all.

In the bigger picture, Jugnoo is a technology and media company that has an umbrella of products for both consumers and businesses. The first product is JugnooMe, which is currently in beta phase for launch early 2012. Its primary goal is to make social media easier to add to the marketing mix for small-to-medium businesses.

There’ll be a lot more information coming from both this way and the Jugnoo team soon, and I’ll be reaching out to folks in our target audience with some more details shortly.

For now, my sincere best wishes to Troy and Bonsai on their success ahead, and my gratitude to the clients that I’ve gotten to know over the last two years – it’s been a blast, and I wish you well.

In the meantime, feel free to connect with Jugnoo on Facebook and Twitter, and look forward to sharing more details soon.

Cheers!

A very late Congrats to you, Danny! I've been well under the radar lately and hate that I missed this post. I had seen the tweets about Jugnoo (had to really remember how to spell that one after reading Gini's exchange with you!), but wasn't quite clear. Glad that Adam Toporek's post today mentioned it.

Cheers to you and yours! I see nothing but good things ahead for you.
Best,
Erica

Congrats Danny! I wish you all the best and I've liked the Facebook page now too. Cheers.

Looking forward to hearing exciting things about Jugnoo. Look forward to see Jugnoo become one of the best on the social web.

Thanks, miss, and I'm sure there will be much more shared in the coming weeks as we move to open launch. :)

Cheers, Michelle, appreciated. Beta is closed at the minute, but version 1.1 is due December 15, so will see about opening up more spaces.

Checking out the site. Why is there no Black Flag intro song on the home page?

You actually have a Facebook Brand Page Tool that actually could have value?

Dear Vitrue and Likeable - SUCK IT!

Grats Danny noticed the change but still waiting for your official e-card announcement.

DannyBrown 2790 pts moderator

HowieSPM The goal is to have value and really give that to SME's especially - the trick now is making sure the goal is met. ;-)
