Are you a Software or Hardware vendor or a technology PR firm? If so, you probably know that Articles and Reviews written on blogs now go a lot further than advertising. According to a JupiterResearch study, “consumers are influenced by blogs at the moment of purchase decision.”
More information on my review and sponsored content information is below, but if you want to jump straight to my Brand, Vendor or PR Firm Contact form, either scroll down or click here to go to the form.
To that end, if you are interested in having your Software or Gadget reviewed by someone who takes the time to say something different and unique about it, then you have come to the right place. I am a Technologist at heart, so much so, my wife calls technology, “the other woman.” As you have found my blog, you can see that I’m driven to provide insight, tips and tricks, and other commentary about a variety of subjects.
I currently work at AppDynamics (part of Cisco) as a Strategist of Digital, Content, and Customer Marketing. Previously at AppDynamics, I was a Senior Manager of Partner Marketing Strategy. Do note: The postings on HighTechDad.com as well as on my social channels are my own and don’t necessarily represent AppDynamic’s positions, strategies, or opinions. I hold a high standard for transparency and disclosure and take a journalistic approach to all of my work.
Are you are cutting edge company or brand, or a PR firm that represents one? I am currently accepting month-long (or longer) sponsorships of HighTechDad.com to prominently place your brand within a unique and growing audience. I will work with you and/or your brand to place relevant ads and non-content mentions to give your products increased exposure. I can also write sponsored articles but I do not accept 3rd party written articles.
If you are interested in HighTechDad (HTD) reviewing your product or Sponsoring HighTechDad.com, please fill out the form below as completely as possible. I get many requests so please be sure that your information is accurate and compelling, and your product is cutting-edge, helpful and/or FUN!
Apart from the tiny amount of advertising revenue I receive from this blog, I receive no financial compensation for these articles. I do this solely because of my fascination of technology…which verges on an addiction. To that end, my policy is that any samples that are sent to me, remain in my possession. There are extreme cases where I make an exception to this policy, but for the most part, this levels the playing field for everyone.
It takes time to write an intelligent review, I spend on average a few hours writing it, plus the time it takes to take product shots, and evaluating the product itself. Finding time to do this is difficult so the compensation I receive is frequently only in the form of keeping the product itself.
Therefore:
More information and disclosures can be found on my About page.
