Disclosures

I write a column for Forbes as a Senior Contributor, and that has ethical obligations, which I’m declaring here.

I never do pay for play and never take cash or other kinds of rewards for writing a story. (Good PR reps never suggest this, and I get offended when bad ones suggest it.)

Every story I write is something I select because I’m interested in it. I write about things I find intriguing and things I’m passionate about. If I ever do a story that mentions or quotes or references a client, I will fully disclose that fact in the story, as Forbes requires.

I run my own consultancy through which I help clients with strategy, insight, research, (video) podcasting, and content marketing. Most of my clients are long-term clients and our work is more easily measured in years than months.

Current clients

• Singular
• Liftoff
• Absolute Labs

Investments

• I have a range of personal and business investments which are managed by an investment advisor and I do not have day-to-day (or even month-to-month) control over those investments.
• I have two angel investments in startup tech companies:
  • Rapchat, a social music creation startup
  • Admix, a game monetization startup
