Jeremiah Owyang discusses how web tools and social media enable companies to connect with customers

Pursuing the Web Strategy mission as a Forrester Analyst

For those that read this blog, you’ll know that I’m passionate about the web, I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be furthering the Web Strategy mission by accepting a new role at an amazing company.

Forrester Research, a perfect fit
I’m very pleased to announce that I’ll be joining Forrester Research as a Senior Analyst focused on Social Computing for the Interactive Marketer. Forrester is the leading industry analyst firm focused on this emerging industry, and thanks to luminaries like Charlene Li and team, they’ve produced tremendous thought leadership in the space. They’ve produced a large growing library of resources, and as an analyst, I will also be conducting research, publishing reports, and advising Forrester’s clients. I really believe this to be a perfect fit and am excited to start on October 1st, 2007.

Thank you PodTech Network
Since Sept 2006, as the Director of Corporate Media Strategy, I’ve had the most amazing experience living in the epicenter of social media, and I’m thankful. I’ve met so many amazing people, worked with thought and practice leaders, and been part of amazing events like BlogHaus, PodTech is a training ground for talent. Having informed my colleagues of my change, I’ve received nothing from congratulations and support from James the CEO on down. I’m grateful to John Furrier for launching the company and hiring me on the team. On mutually good terms, I end my time at PodTech on Sept 14th, CEO James McCormick wishes me the best.

Pursuing the Web Strategy Mission
Why an analyst? This is native to me. If you check out my posts tagged Web Strategy, or the various industry lists that I’ve been collecting you’ll find that it’s not too different from what an Industry Analyst does. I enjoy writing, and have published 1,327 posts in the last 15 months (about 3 a day, including weekends). Like my role at PodTech, I’ll also be guiding corporations, helping them navigate the uncharted social computing sphere. I’ll continue to write publications, consult, and speak. Social computing is native to me, before PodTech I deployed the social media program at Hitachi Data Systems, Shel has the story.

Stepping down from Board of Advisors
As an Analyst, Ill be unbiased in my analysis and reports, sadly, I’m stepping down from the Board of Advisors for WaterCooler (a successful Facebook applications company) and UStream.tv (live interactive video streaming).

What will happen with the Web Strategy Mission? It will continue to evolve, and now I’ll be working with the top analytical minds in the industry. For corporations, the journey is just starting, so stay close to me: subscribe to this blog, follow me on Twitter (where I first announced this), friend me at Facebook or find peers by joining the Web Strategy Community.

It’s going to be exciting, I’ll be able to serve the web industry as an analyst at Forrester Research!

I’m going to take a few days off from blogging, see you in Facebook!

    Jeremiah, this is tremendous news. PodTech must be very sad at your leaving. Equally, Forrester must be utterly delighted that they have snagged you. I wish you every success.

  19. Brian Breslin August 27th, 2007 1:18 pm

  28. Curt August 27th, 2007 1:45 pm

    good for you. most of us are less interested in podtech (nice as it is) and more for the conversation writ large. keep on, er, rocking in, or near, the free world. staying in sf, or moving?

  29. Dan York August 27th, 2007 1:48 pm

    Congrats, Jeremiah! We’ll look forward to seeing what you now produce under the Forrester banner!

  30. karl long August 27th, 2007 1:48 pm

    Good job Jeremiah, Forrester is certainly a great fit for you, although I hope you get to stay in the bay area :-)

  31. Pete Quily August 27th, 2007 1:52 pm

    congrats Jeremiah, really enjoyed reading your posts.

    Hope that you won’t have 90% of what you do at Forrester behind a paid wall, but not betting on it.

    good luck with the new gig. They’ll have a hard time replacing you at podtech.

  32. Krish August 27th, 2007 1:54 pm

    Congrats Jeremiah. I am sure you will continue to offer us with insights on the industry. Looking forward to hearing from you on how web strategy is shaping up in big corporations.

  48. Lionel Menchaca August 27th, 2007 2:50 pm

    Rock on Jeremiah! Congrats on the new role. I’m sure I’ll continue to learn a lot from you.

  49. jeremiah_owyang August 27th, 2007 2:52 pm

    @ Jim Turner It’s hard to imagine that PodTech will be able to go on with a social media expert to help clients. If I learn more, I’ll let you know.

    Stay tuned

  50. Anna August 27th, 2007 2:57 pm

    Congratulations Jeremiah. Forrester is lucky to have you.

    I look forward to reading your reports as an *official* industry analyst. You’ve already been playing that role. Feels like a perfect fit.

  62. Ian Wilker August 27th, 2007 4:46 pm

    Jeremiah, we met only super-briefly at sxsw this year (I was hanging out with Marshall K) and I didn’t have a chance to tell you how critical a read you’ve been for me for the last year and a half or so. So here’s thanking you for all the generosity and soul you’ve put into your blog, and good luck at Forrester.

    (If some of your best stuff disappears behind that insurmountable Forrester paywall, I’ll be good and truly bummed, though!)

  63. Rocky Barbanica August 27th, 2007 4:50 pm

    Jeremiah-
    I’m real happy for you and sad for us- I enjoyed creating video content for your show with you. I’ll miss out little production pow wow’s. You’re one of the good ones-

  106. jeremiah_owyang August 28th, 2007 6:50 am

    Chris Courtright, my fellow colleague at World Savings? Either way thanks

    Josh Bernoff, I’m looking forward to working with you at Forrester, (oh, and I guess you didn’t see valleywag, some funny comments there, yes, you can borrow me hair gel).

    I really goes both ways, with everyone telling me it’s a “perfect fit” I’m also glad I’m joining the right outfit!

    Maybe this is just the start of “hiring 2.0″ where the community suggests, interviews, places, and approves your next job.

  107. Shel Holtz August 28th, 2007 7:00 am

    Outstanding news, Jeremiah. With luck, we’ll still be able to get together at the occasional SF Podcaster meetup!

  108. Erik Hersman August 28th, 2007 7:47 am

    Congratulations and good luck. Forrester should be a great fit.

  110. jeremiah_owyang August 28th, 2007 8:09 am

  111. Kevin Lim August 28th, 2007 8:11 am

    That’s awesome. Now I’ll see your name pop out more often when I’m doing research :)

  112. Mac Randall August 28th, 2007 8:46 am

    Congrats Jeremiah. I greatly enjoy reading your blog and look forward to reading your work with Forrester.

  113. Aaron Strout August 28th, 2007 12:52 pm

    Jeremiah — congrats. I’m a huge fan of Forrester (Charlene and Josh in particular) but they could use more firepower in the social computing space. You’ll do great things I’m sure! BTW, Peter Kim and I are former Fidelity colleagues. Tell him I said “hello!”

  114. Gabe August 28th, 2007 12:53 pm

    Hey…good luck Jeremiah, and get those Forresters to blog more…

  115. Thomas August 28th, 2007 12:54 pm

    Congrats on the new position at Forrester, this sounds like a good fit.

    I have learned a lot from our conversations, and I look forward to seeing what you have to blog about moving forward.

  116. Brian Solis August 28th, 2007 1:04 pm

    I’ll throw out the 116th congrats here! Unless someone pushes submit first…JKO, this is an amazing move for you. Well done sir, well done.

  119. Michael Kure August 28th, 2007 3:51 pm

    You’re moving up at warp speed. Don’t stop. Congrats and best wishes!

  120. Juan August 28th, 2007 3:55 pm

    Congratulations! As everyone has already stated, “its a perfect fit.”

  121. Mukund Mohan August 28th, 2007 4:35 pm

    JKO
    Congratulations. I really like Josh’s work, so I am pleased you are joining a good team. We are a client of Forrester so I’ll look forward to getting some good feedback from you.

    BTW when is that book from Forrester on social media due (or is it out already). You should also connect with JP Garbani at Forrester, he’s a great guy.

  122. jeremiah_owyang August 28th, 2007 6:44 pm

    I’ve only met Josh once, during the interview process, he clearly gets it from a strategic standpoint, and I can’t wait to check out his upcoming book.

    I’ll connect with JP, thanks!

  123. René Dechamps Otamendi August 28th, 2007 10:17 pm

    Congratulations Jeremiah, I’m sure you’ll be doing a fantastic work at Forester. My only regret is that you will stop doing your great interviews. But on the other hand we will get great analysis ;-)

    All the best!
