Business Marketing Online is comprised of a small but talented and extraordinarily helpful team of people, led by Chris Rand. You may have come across Chris over the past twenty years if you're in the engineering sector: Chris launched the Engineeringtalk website and weekly newsletter back in 2000, building it to a circulation of over 50,000 and making it easily the UK's top online publication for manufacturing industry, before handing over ownership of the entire Pro-Talk network to Centaur Media in 2006. Before that, Chris was the editor of Industrial Technology magazine, taking it from its 1988 launch to market leadership within five years, a position the magazine still holds today.

"Chris Rand understands the industry and the challenges faced by B2B marketers,who do not have the large resources enjoyed by other sectors. This coupled with a practical approach and ability to actually listen to our challenges, makes him a great partner in the fast moving world of e-marketing"
Chris Pockett, Group Marketing Services Manager at metrology specialist Renishaw plc

Chris built a website for Industrial Technology magazine back in 1994, when the internet was being treated by most people as no more than a CB-radio-style fad. By the end of the nineties it was getting as many readers as the magazine, sparking his unhealthy interest in the workings of the internet, which continues to this day. At their peak, Engineeringtalk and its sister websites at Pro-Talk pulled in over a million visitors a month, traffic levels where even the smallest website tweak can have a major impact. With the Insider Programme, Chris aims to combine this knowledge of what makes a business website tick with his understanding of the aims and constraints of the marketing departments in technology companies.
