Welcome to the launch of the MediaConnect Asia's new corporate website and also our new blog - Influencing Asia.

Despite being primarily an online company, we haven't exactly gone out of our way to market ourselves. Anyone who has typed in mediaconnectasia.com has never been met with anything more than a log-in screen. What's been behind the firewall? Who is that masked crusader?

However, this year we decided it was time to remove the mystery.

We have a lot scheduled to happen over the course of this year including Kickstart in July, expansion into the non-traditional media market and another major platform refresh. Given that some of those plans will open us up to companies, who are unlikely to have been part of our niche market previously, we figured it was time to start talking more publicly about what we're doing and how we're working to reshape our industries, by enabling what we call Media Relations 2.0.

If you're a MediaConnect subscriber you now have two choices as to how you log-in to the MediaConnect portal. You can use the mediaconnect.com.sg domain and click the login button on the right hand side above the navigation bar, whereby you can also consume our regular blog posts that will be posted here, or else you can log directly into the portal at mediaconnectasia.com

We aim for this site to be far more than just brochureware and as well as the blog, which we hope you'll all become a regular reader of, we're building a number of resources including a PR directory.

So we hope you enjoy the new site. It's still a work-in-progress, but we've opted to go the release early, update often approach, rather than try and get everything perfect and go the big bang launch. We're so Web 2.0!
