Graeme with Kara Swisher of The Wall Street Journal at the AllThingsD.com launch party

Founder, NewMediaWise

Graeme Thickins is a technology marketing consultant and new media strategist.
He recently became VP Marketing of an exciting new Internet startup, soon to be announced. Graeme has more than 25 years experience, which includes the founding of GT&A Strategic Marketing Inc., Minneapolis, a strategy, branding, communications, content development, and startup advisory firm. Over the years, he’s helped more than 100 tech firms launch, grow, and prosper, many from the initial concept stage. Clients have included Secure Computing, Medtronic, VTC (acquired by Lucent, now Agere), IAI Venture Capital, Datakey, Datacard, Ubiq Inc. (acquired by NBS), Cartia (acquired by Amazon), The Smaby Group, MEANS Telcom/ MRnet (now Onvoy), Connect Computer (acquired by Norstan), Agiliti (acquired by Vericenter), USWeb, Net Perceptions, Crescendo Ventures, BestBuy.com, and many others. He has also served in several interim roles as a content development and marketing executive for Minnesota-based emerging technology firms. Since 2005, he has written the well-read Tech-Surf-Blog.com, which focuses on technology trends, innovation, entrepreneurship, startup issues, venture capital, and other topics, and often reports from major technology conferences around the country. (That blog has been named twice as one of the “Top 100 Analyst Blogs” by Technobabble 2.0, an Edelman PR site in the UK. It is also syndicated by a half-dozen other sites, including Computerworld’s TechDispenser, and was recently invited to be part of both the Forbes.com blogger network and TheDeal.com’s TechConfidential network.) Graeme recently launched a new practice called NewMediaWise.com, from which this blog arose—and more will be added to the site ongoing.
