Cambridge, MA – March 1, 2010 - Micronotes announced today that Tom Burgess, founder and CEO of Third Screen Media, has joined the Micronotes’ Advisory Board as marketing practitioner. “Tom is a serial entrepreneur in the internet marketing space with extraordinary customer-side communications talent,” said Devon Kinkead, founder & CEO of Micronotes. “Micronotes is pioneering an entirely new way of marketing with our Digital Sales Call technology and it's great to have Tom aboard to help us navigate.” 
 
"Micronotes is a pioneer in a new marketing paradigm that is focused on bringing benefits directly to the consumer,” said Burgess. “Traditionally, the media players are the only ones with an obvious ROI in the marketing ecosystem. What about the general public? ‘What’, they beg, ‘benefit do we get from all this in-your-face advertising’? Micronotes allows brands to cut through the marketing fog, interact one-on-one with the consumer and leave behind a very positive brand experience. Doesn't get much better than that”. I'm excited to be part of this innovative team."
