Agency Maintains Multi-Year Sponsorship and Uses Venue to Launch Wallop, a
Microsoft IP Ventures Social Networking Spinout
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Porter Novelli, one of the world's
leading public relations agencies, continues its long-standing commitment
to the DEMO conferences with a key sponsorship and support of a client
launch. The agency continues to use DEMO, a premiere showcase for
cutting-edge technology products, as a spring board for catapulting
start-up clients into the public domain. At this year's fall event, Porter
Novelli is proud to launch Wallop, a next-generation social networking
experience. Wallop joins a long list of Porter Novelli clients that have
launched at DEMO conferences, including companies such as Bones In Motion,
Whole Security, Pay By Touch, Traq Wireless and PolyVision.
"We are thrilled to continue our partnership with and support of DEMO,"
said Laura Beck, senior vice president and managing director of the Porter
Novelli Austin office. "Given our passion for and specialty in servicing
start-up companies, we firmly believe this event is the launch pad for
introducing our clients to the world."
Companies chosen to present at DEMO endure a rigorous selection
process, and Porter Novelli is proud to support Wallop during the
much-anticipated launch of its beta product at the fall event. Wallop, an
invitation-only network, for the first time combines a social networking
site with a marketplace, enabling an entirely new way to self-express and
enhance a person's increasingly important online image.
Porter Novelli has repeatedly upheld a strong presence at DEMO not only
through sponsorship, but by also attending, networking and counseling
clients for the event. "In 16 years, we've seen DEMO grow into an elite
showcase for today's technology innovators," said Chris Shipley, executive
producer, DEMO. "The support of our sponsors has allowed us to build and
maintain the positive reputation the conference currently holds."
