Malin Strand
CEO | Doer | Writer @Ambaurora Communications | ambaurora.se
I'ven been working within communications for the past five years, mainly been focusing on media and corporate communications. I've worked both as a consultant at Sweden's largest PR burea H&H, as well as in-house Communications Manager at Sweden's fastest growing tech company, Fingerprint Cards. During my years at Fingerprint Cards, the company went through several crisis of confidence and the media interest and coverage was not like anything ever seen before - thus, handling this situation/these situations most certainly gave me experiences and insights that are simply impossible to learn, unless you've done the hands on job behind the scenes. Apart from the above, I also have a large interest for discussing these questions from a broader perspective. I'm a Finnish Swede, borned and raised in Finland that is, but I've been living and working in Sweden almost 10 years now, something which has given me the opportunity to experience the differences between the media and communications landscape in these two countries. Not to mention, trying to keep up with the pace in Asia as well while working at Fingerprint Cards. I chose to leave Fingerprint Cards earlier this year, and now I have just started my own firm as a communications consultant. Br, Malin Strandvall
Kevin Enochs
VOA Office of Public Affairs at Voice of America
I have spent 20 years in journalism and new media. But more recently I have spent time in our office of policy and research working closely with a number of analytics programs like Adobe Analytics, Crowdtangle, Chartbeat and independent reports to analyze consumption patters in Iran, China, and also do competitive landscape research into the concept of 24/7 news channels. I am working closely with partners on Over the Top (OTT) video as well and looking into the consumption patterns in emerging markets in Africa and the Middle East. Finally, my children and I are launching a web site rating system based on the viewing trends amongst pre-teens in regards to YouTube with a focus on YouTube celebrities, micro-sitcoms and improv teams to help parents navigate the media landscape with their children.

Writer
I am in digital press. This is a new phenomenon in all of society. Before that, there was media. And there was the Internet. Before that, there was just media. Before that, there was nothing. Even industry leaders do not know about digital press. Being in digital press has given me a knowledge that society is learning only now, and I have gained the knowledge only because of life experiences unique to me. Bridget Mackey was smart to contact me.
Laura Kane
SVP, Chief Communications Officer
As the head of marketing communications for the nation's largest association of communication professionals, I am extremely interested in how consumers are consuming messages and using platforms. The PESO model, content marketing and digital platforms are changing the way we and other audiences reach and think about our audiences.

Serial Marketer: marketing & strategy leader connecting ideas, people, and technologies
I've been writing about changes in the media landscape for Ad Age, MediaPost, Adweek and elsewhere since 2004. I've also been working with a lot of companies at the forefront of such changes, such as agencies 360i and MRY and the video production marketplace where I work now. I've given hundreds of talks on related themes, including a series on the shift from Storytelling to Storymaking.

FAQ
  • add remove What is Currnt?
    Currnt is a “Knowledge Networking” platform where companies and professionals come to stay relevant on the latest advances in their industries in the face of the increasing pace of change. Companies sponsor panels to learn about where markets are headed or how to leverage new capabilities. Professionals join to demonstrate and develop their passions with equal caliber peers in expert-only facilitated online engagements. On Currnt, we take our passions seriously and ourselves lightly. See our Community Guidelines, to learn more of the rules of the road, here are some highlights

    • Be yourself. The authenticity of Currnt begins with the passion of people.
    • Be respectful. This applies to every person, at all times.
    • Be inclusive. Tolerate, welcome, and consider diverse people and perspectives.
    • Build empathy and understanding. Engage in debates that are in good faith.
    • Foster meaningful and genuine connections. This is what Currnt is all about.
    • Do not plagiarize or fail to cite other’s ideas.
    • Don’t game the points by trying to coordinate intentional recognition.
  • add remove How do Panels work?
    The panel is like a facilitated forum of hand selected experts on a topic sponsored by a company that wants to learn fast. Panels are organized in chapters called Themes that focus on one subtopic at a time. In some panels Themes are only 24 hours in duration, in others they are a week long, and in some they are two weeks long. When one Theme closes, a new one begins. You come in when you feel like it, but try to come in twice per Theme. You earn points from your peers and the facilitator when they react to your ideas. Likewise, others earn points when you interact on their posts. The more we discuss and debate, the better the insights, the more points earned by all.

  • add remove Why should I apply? Do I get paid?
    Professionals join Currnt because they want to remain relevant on subjects they’re passionate about and subjects that are shaping the future of their industry. They also:

    • Engage and connect with equal caliber peers in their industry
    • Learn and enhance their knowledge
    • Get recognized and rewarded for providing their inputs and thought-leadership
    • When specified above in the project description, you can earn honorarium payments and/or recognition points redeemable for cash. Learn more here.
  • add remove Are there specific times I need to participate?
    There are no set times for calls or meetings. Participation is 100% online on the Currnt platform and engagement between the all expert panelists is asynchronous in written form. Just come in twice per Theme, at your convenience.

  • add remove How do KnowledgeStreams and DesignSprints work?
    Streams are ongoing online engagements for exploration or working iteratively with a panel, and Sprints are on-demand engagement to get to actionable insights quickly. Both are facilitated and are always-on for participants to engage at-convenience. The conversations are segmented into Themes which are subtopics which are like chapters in a book. In a 4 Day Sprint, Themes are 24 hours, whereas a Theme in a Stream is every two week. Throughout the discussion, the facilitator highlights and categorizes the “key takeaways” to be voted and distilled into a summary report. It’s also common that other pieces of content (whitepapers, blogs, podcasts) are also prepared from the distilled insights.

  • add remove I’ve applied. Now what?
    Your application will be internally reviewed in the following 24-48hrs and screened for any conflict of interest, and general fit. Next your application will be shortlisted for the sponsor to accept, bookmark or reject. You will receive a notification each step of the way, but expect this may take a couple of days, or even weeks if the panel is new. Nevertheless, in addition to the notifications, you can always go back to the Apply page to view the status of your application.

  • add remove I’ve been selected. What am I expected to do when selected?
    Once you receive your Welcome Email, please RSVP by clicking the link in the notification. You can also gain access to the panel through your ‘My Currnt’ at the top of the page. Finally, once you have RSVP’d by logging into the panel, there is often a Welcome Tab where you can introduce yourself to the other panelists. If it’s a new panel, the first Theme will launch in a few days, if it’s an ongoing panel just jump right in by reacting to the question or to what the other panelists had to say.

  • add remove If I have other questions or issues, what should I do?
    Please contact support to answer any other questions or troubleshoot any issues via email or chat.
