Robert Gowans’s Summary
My major focus right now is MyBiz.se - which is kind of like Yell meets MySpace - a new style of Internet marketplace where Swedish companies can connect with existing and potential customers by managing their profile, responding to reviews and easily adding news, products, advice etc.
I also provide advice on Internet strategies for companies and organisations through my consultancy Gowans.se.
I'm a curious chap, passionate about stuff that interests me, and enjoy working with other people. I love new technology, solving problems, keeping my eye on the big picture whilst delving into the detail, and trying to make a difference.
My major interests as you may have already gathered include: Internet marketing; search marketing; local search; social media; business and social entrepreneurship; the environment and sustainability; and juvenile diabetes.
