Introducing Amondo – set to take 2016 by storm. Amondo is an innovative content curation platform that generates a unique media format called an Imprint, that research has shown gives consumers a more immersive and engaging experience than other social media. Their tech enables users (businesses and consumers) to seamlessly gather content and data from all personal devices, social platforms, streaming and storage services and intelligently render personal stories and experiences in an Imprint format.
So Imprints can be a perfect showcase of a great night out or a weekend away – and are shareable across all main social channels and digital media.
Join the Amondo community and have a play with their Beta (prototype) concept at
www.amondo.com
They have raised their first stage of seed funding earlier this year in order to research and build the Beta product as a technical feasibility exercise that has been taken to a limited product trial, which commenced in October 2015.
The Beta is still live and the team are learning rapidly what consumers like about Amonda, what needs to be improved and where users would like them to go next in terms of concept development. They’ve already signed up a handful of brand and content partners to use this early stage product, including global publisher Time Inc. (who have made the Imprint one of the lead channels for the relaunch of music title NMW Magazine), independent music distributor Believe Digital and they are currently in discussions with a number of major consumer brands, including ASOS, Live Nation, New Look and Unilever (Lynx/Dove).
They are now raising their second stage of seed funding in order to build an iOS app, a new Version 2.0 as a full consumer product, add to their suite of brand tools – and to grow the team!

You Need A PA were honoured to be part of this years carol service for The Charlie Waller Memorial Trust. It was an incredibly special evening raising awareness to stomp out the stigma of mental illness and fight depression.
A monumental thank you to all our fantastic readers; Captain David Blakeley, Sarah Alexander, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Bishop Michael Doe, Hugh Skinner, Alice Palmer and Peter Serafinowicz and also to Charlie Grace and the Vox Cordis choir for the stunning music.
CWMT have a clear vision which is to live in a world where young people understand and talk openly about depression, where young people know how to maintain wellbeing, and where the most appropriate treatment is available to everyone who needs it.
Next years carol service will be on Monday 12th December 2016. It was voted by Tatler as the 2nd best carol service in London, so it’s not one to be missed!
