Jamie Huskisson Blog Rolled acquired by Juno Media

Please note: I left Juno Media in August 2009 and am nothing to do with the company.

I’ve just announced over on Sausage Roll that Rolled has been acquired by Juno Media.

It’s an opportunity to join an established company in the area with a good solid set of existing clients and revenue. Carers Federation and The Coffee Fairy are the two favourites that I’ve worked on so far, being the social entrepreneurs that they are.

There’s also a big opportunity to change the company from the inside into taking on board blogs, RSS feeds, open source, “web 2.0″, web apps, social entrepreneurialism and all those other “modern” things we’ve been doing at Rolled in the past. Myself and Dave (owner/director of Juno Media) have sat down and formulated a plan of attack for this and have already started applying it to new clients.

It also means you should see me at conferences from now on, which I was unable to do at Rolled due to lack of excess funds. We’ve already started by attending the fantastic SHINE unConference on the 9th of May.

Of course, a regular wage and lack of business-induced stress is also a big plus. With weekends off and work ending at 5:30pm everyday – it’s going to be completely different from the twelve hour work days and seven day workweeks I worked at Rolled as Managing Director.

Here’s to, yet again, a new stage in my life.
