Meeting with Ann Revell-Pechar

This afternoon we met with Ann Revell-Pechar of the aptly-named Revell-Pechar Public Relations and Marketing. We met at JavaU in Dunwoody which was a nice relaxed setting. Ann, we learned, spends a lot of time changing the world. Her PR work is focused on entrepreneurial companies who can generate jobs without the potential evils of big business. As such, she has a very international client base. Her perspective made for a feel-good meeting. It's not that any of the other people we talk to don't do good... just that Ann really, really believes in it.

We met Ann a little over a year ago through Lance Weatherby. Ann and her team recommended the term Social Surveys which, as you may have noticed, is dNeero's tagline/subname/whatever-you-call-it. Since our first meeting a lot has changed on our side. It was actually helpful for me to see the progress. We had a user/advertiser chicken and egg problem which we had no idea how to solve. Now we have one side taken care of. We had a scientific rigor problem. Now we have a guy at Rice University ready to do a research paper on dNeero. A lot's happened since we powerpointed last year.

We're trying to find potential clients to use the technology. Ann was kindly willing to think through her clients until she had something of an "aha" moment. From there we talked through the potential client and it sounds like it's a fit. Hopefully we can help Ann deliver on her strategic goals.

Thanks Ann for the time... we're excited to see where this whole thing goes!
