Vitamins for Bloggers

I was approached recently by a marketing agency interested in the idea of sponsoring the Bloggers meetup for one of their clients. Great I thought, it’s bound to be some company bringing a new web 2.0 product to market, or maybe a social networking site. After all, bloggers are all tech geeks right..?

Well, not this time! You can imagine my surprise when the client turned out to be makers of fizzy orange vitamin drink Berocca. Actually it’s fair to say I was pretty delighted, as I for one could certainly do with a few extra vitamins in my life right now.

I had to ask why Berocca wanted to sponsor the meetup. It turns out they’re pretty interested in helping us bleary eyed bloggers to stay at the top of our game. Bloggers it seems have a reputation for working late into the night, writing posts, or fixing widgets, or setting adsense up, or the 101 other tasks that go into managing a good blog. The extra dose of goodness should help us to keep going!!

I have to admit, I haven’t tried Berocca before, but several friends who work in the City have and it’s supposed to be excellent stuff. I’m expecting to get a few samples tomorrow so I’ll soon be able to tell you if all the stories are true. Of course, if you come along to the Meetup yourself, you’ll be able to take home a few goodies for yourself (or you could of course pop into any Boots and buy some).

Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Oh and don’t forget the venue has changed back to the Camel & Artichoke in Waterloo. For more details check out the Bloggers meetup page.

We Have A Full House

With less than a week to go before the next bloggers’ meetup we’ve got a full house. That’s right, all 60 places have been snapped up, which means we’re all set for a cracking night. We don’t have a sponsor yet though, so if you represent a company and would like to help a bunch of friendly bloggers get into the spirit of things – i.e. buy us a few drinks – then do feel free to get in touch.

Cheers,
Andy
