Weekly Roundup
Here at MeetTheBoss we pride ourselves on the quality of our content. So what better way to share with you the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the crème de la crème, every Friday for the week’s best content, than with a weekly roundup?!
As well as the broadcasts of our all-star thought-leader video interviews, we stage MeetTheBoss virtual roundtables focusing on technology and marketing-based topics, in which a group of senior business executives join together to discuss challenges and solutions.

Last month we launched the new MeetTheBoss company page on LinkedIn. Our executive thought-leader group is taking shape nicely on the social site, so a company page seemed like the perfect accessory – this’ll act as another platform to share information, insights and upcoming roundtable briefs.
Starting conversations and building relationships has become our mantra within the MeetTheBoss marketing team. And we believe that social media is the way forward. Our Linkedin group is a great example of this.
