Thank you Prospero and Mzinga!

After 3.5 years as a part of the Prospero / Mzinga team, I have decided to move on. It has been an incredible adventure through which I have learned a lot, stretched my capabilities, and gained many wonderful friends. As a start-up/small company professional, I felt it was time to find another wonderful opportunity. I will be joining Chris Brogan’s New Marketing Labs, a small, extremely talented social media agency.
In parting, I wanted to share with all of you a few of my most treasured moments with the people that make Mzinga and I think you will see why Mzinga will always have a special place in my heart:
- So many times turning to Rusty Williams and sharing great news of a new client and joking that we needed to work harder on our sales prevention skills.
- Jon Bourne’s homebrew on a Friday was occasional a special treat.
- The early Prospero staff meetings that Dan Bruns would run were great – he was the master of keeping things short and to the point.
- Trading soccer stories with Mike Millet has been a blast.
- Hanging out with Jim Storer and Aaron Strout at SXSW!
- Rick Faulk, a CEO who listens and cares and not afraid to roll up his sleeves. It was great to see him flipping burgers at our BBQs!
- Chip Matthes has endless information on our platform. It has been amazing to listen to him on countless sales calls.
- The meeting Brian Harris and I had at DC Comics – talk about two kids in a candy store!
- Cyndi Morawiak can make the Mzinga templates dance and sing! She and Brian encouraged my crazy ideas.
- Dancing with Eve Sangenito, Randy Saari, Jen Chambers and Kim Beckhart at The Abby was such a blast!
- Having Gene Amoroso’s son’s band play at our holiday party last year was great! I can’t wait until they are signed!
- Tadd Ruddell’s holiday rum cake that I swear we all got drunk on.
- Finally, it was great in the early Prospero days to all sit as a team and sign the holiday cards to our clients.
Thank you Prospero and Mzinga for 3.5 wonderful years. I know you will continue to do great things and I look forward to hearing them!

Wow, what news! congrats and best wishes ahead on the new venture. Keep that Brogan in line, will ya?
Dude – congratulations. I know you’ll be missed at Mzinga but what a great opportunity to work with the powerful and mighty Chris Brogan at New Marketing Labs. I hope to see you dial up your Twitter activity as a result – I miss all the ribbing you used to give me back in the spring.
Your pal,

Welcome to the pirate ship Colin! Can’t wait to sit down with you at CES and start planning on making ‘09 ridiculously successful!
Colin – You already know this, but you’ll be missed at Mzinga, especially my me. It was nice having you down the hall to bounce ideas around. But you’re a start-up guy and it’s an exciting opportunity. I know you’ll do well playing Robin to Brogan’s Batman… or is it the other way around?
I look forward to a reunion podcast with you & Aaron at SXSW!

Congratulations on the wonderful news. Best of luck to you @ NML. Looking forward to seeing what you do in 2009.
Best of luck to you Colin! It was great getting to know you the past 6 months at Mzinga. I know we’ll definitely be running into each other at events and of course always on Twitter
Keep the social media passion truckin’. Cheers to a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2009!
Congrats on your new venture, Colin.
I really enjoyed meeting you in San Fran!
Your new position should be energy filled!
CB- Ran into an A-B friend of yours at a breakfast several weeks ago, and yes, we did chat about soccer, along with confirming what a talented chap you are.
Do you have my new contact info at the downtown gig?
Best,
Mike
