Following a series of new appointments, Cambridge-based BlinkPipe, providers of high quality, big screen telepresence, has appointed Michael Francis as Marketing Communications Manager.
Michael has over eleven years business-to-business technology marketing experience, including positions held at Vigilant Software, Red Gate Software, Camrivox, Vianet and Accelrys. He has also spent seven years working in scientific publishing, including The Royal Society of Chemistry and Derwent Publications.
Commenting on his new role, he said: “This is an exciting time to join BlinkPipe. HD video conferencing for businesses has traditionally been both a user experience nightmare and expensive, until now. PhoneCamHD offers a different proposition from anything else on the market. It makes meeting room HD video conferencing as easy as making a telephone call, from only £49 per camera. The combination of high quality, big screen telepresence at a low monthly subscription with no long-term contract is a winning solution for businesses operating across multiple sites.”
Reporting into co-founder, Alex Nanckevill, Michael will also work with the company’s PR agency, KISS Communications to raise the profile of BlinkPipe and communicate its key areas of differentiation.
Alex explains, “Our commercial focus is sales; both in volume and scalability. Michael’s remit is to take ownership of blinkpipe.com, develop sales collateral for our channel partners and capture testimonials that show how BlinkPipe’s customers are getting value from PhoneCamHD.”
As a start up company, BlinkPipe is running a launch offer on PhoneCamHD for one month in two meeting rooms for less than £100. For details on this offer please click here.
