Screama is novel content management solution that turns your email system into a valuable sales and marketing channel. The results are quite amazing and although this is a relatively new business, uptake has been tremendous. We are now using the core technology behind Screama to power a new proposition that our business community tells us could be the next big internet thing - perhaps not a Facebook or Twitter, but not far off! The new solution builds upon Screama's ability to identify the email address of your site visitors; to deliver dynamic personalised site content and visitor metrics that are linked to each individual visiting your site. It means you no longer need to guess who is on your site and what they are doing there. You now know! And now that you know, you can start to do some amazing things.....

The looming post-BREXIT business landscape has created an expansive series of disruptive global opportunities for tech and digitally enabled scale-up businesses. The adage of proximity to markets no longer applies when you can order a product, and have it delivered form the other side of the world within a matter of days… GTM Global addresses these opportunities by providing a free 1-2-1 mentoring service for scale-up business owners seeking to expand internationally. Delivered through a mix of workshops, clinics and fireside chats, the programme provides critical advice and guidance for business owners to successfully develop and execute their international go to market strategies. The GTM Global workshops and clinics provide a cohesive community of mentors who work collaboratively with business owners in key touch points such as – sales and marketing, investment and financing, compliance, logistics, legislation, distribution, channels and government agencies: in fact everything required to develop an effective Go to Market strategy. The GTM Global is aligned to key UK and US trade bodies including techUK, Department of International Trade, Newable, GS1 UK and Greater Phoenix Economic Council to ensure relevance and access to governmental support. We also work with relevant and experienced in country commercial partners to add value and opportunity to our delegate businesses, including Silicon Valley Bank, Avalara, Thorelli & Associates and United Airlines.

We believe you should be in control of how you share your thoughts and passions so that they can grab attention and make great things happen. Woto helps you achieve this by giving you pages that live and breathe on the Internet, without the hassle of web sites and commitment of blogs. Standalone Pages: A New Category of Content Up until 10 years ago we used to turn on our browsers every morning and open up the blogs we had bookmarked. Today social media has replaced this behaviour and Facebook/Twitter have become the destination sites. When it comes to content publishing, however, both Facebook and Twitter are limited in terms of flexibility and capability. Thus a new category of content and a new type of publishing experience is needed. We call this category "standalone pages". These are mobile-friendly web pages with text, images, videos, sounds, payments and other widgets that the web has to offer. They are not part of a web site or a blog, i.e. they can "stand" on their own, and they can easily be shared on social media. What is Woto? Woto is to standalone pages what YouTube is to videos, Instagram is to pictures and SoundCloud is to sound clips. In 3 clicks and a few seconds, you can publish a standalone page with its own URL, enrich it with bags of features Woto has on offer and share it on social media without leaving Woto. It is as quick and simple as Microsoft Word and as powerful and flexible as a web site builder. Read more on http://woto.com/about
