Jeremy Wright, CEO of b5media, announced earlier this week (in a very Jeremy style post), that b5media has pulled together an advisory board to help steer the company:
But we’re now entering b5media’s 3rd year as a company! And this year there will be fairly massive changes afoot. All good. All fun. All incredible, but they require talents, knowledge, connections, wisdom and experience that I simply don’t have.
There were a bunch of options for filling this knowledge and experience gap, but the most attractive (by far) was to work with people I knew, trusted and admired to build a group of folk I could regularly bounce ideas, progress and concepts off of. And not a group of folk who were just going to agree with everything, but a group of people with a history of drawing their lines in the sand and really standing up for what they believed in. A group who were going to challenge me and push me to think bigger, think harder and think deeper.
Ahem.
So we formed our AB.
Why These Participants in the Advisory Board?
As Rick and Ed noted, the Advisory Board is made up of the following folk:

No doubt these folks are heavy hitters. I hope they get the chance/are given the chance to interact with the bloggers of b5media (well if any of them are in Vegas next week, they’ll get a chance for sure). Having been a b5media blogger (I resigned in September), it is the bloggers who make the network tick (and I know the management of b5 are onside of this 100%). The advisory board need the perspectives and input of the folks on the ground to really be able to advise Jeremy on all facets of the b5media network. Maybe I’ll find some ears to bend on that note…
