Get to stuff like MocoNews mixers, or similar events from other sites, local networking groups like Mobile Monday. I don't know where you're located, but it may be worth your while to make the effort and expend the money to get to some of these things that don't carry such a staggering price tag.

Yes, indeed, locating the right people to work with is a priority… but oh so difficult to do.

>>But the bottom line is you’ve got to make yourself known.

I know we've got plenty of people from startups and small companies and agencies that read this site -- without divulging your trade secrets, what advice can you offer Gideon? But the bottom line is you've got to make yourself known. Get online to relevant blogs (such as this one) and start posting. Not just spamming comments about your products, but start contributing to the community in comments, or even with a blog of your own. Get to relevant events and get a demo of your product in front of people. Get a biz dev/marketing person :)

Carlo,

Do you have any suggestions on how one would get the attention of the brands that are interested in being enabled?

I’m a one-man-show and I’ve developed what I call MediaServer System, which generates both a Web and Mobile portal/service.
