On behalf of Brightfly, Brandon Dunlap, our managing director of research, accepted the “Most Connected Customer” award from the Small Business Web at South By Southwest [SXSW] last week. The award seemed to come as quite a surprise to him. “When I was asked if I could attend, the South By Small Business Web party as a Guest of Honor, I had no idea what was in store”, said Dunlap. Maybe that explains the kilt.
In a rare glimpse behind the curtain, Brightfly’s technological underpinnings for much of their outreach and research efforts were showcased. In doing so, Dunlap got to meet many of the founders of the very applications used by Brightfly everyday. “It was quite a pleasure to connect with folks like Michelle Riggen-Ransom from BatchBlue, Taylor Mingos from Shoeboxed, , and Scott McDaniel from SurveyGizmo. Coming from a small business myself, we share many of the same challenges and so they understand exactly what our business needs.”
We deeply appreciate the award and the chance to forge deeper ties with the members of the Small Business Web community. “And thanks for the great laptop bags!” added Dunlap, who after 100,000 air miles last near, destroyed two bags himself.
