We were going to wait to announce this, but it was just covered on Mashable, so why wait.
We just signed a deal with Syracuse University, who wanted to buy Brand-Yourself accounts for every graduating senior (4,100 of them!) to give them an edge in the job market. Obviously we are pumped about signing such a big deal, but we are more excited about the implications behind it. Universities are recognizing that traditional resumes are not enough. It’s becomeing VERY important to create a positive web presence and create positive content via social media. We will give you more details on the deal next week and we think this is a sign of things to come.
Here is the Mashable article. (This is a big deal for us, Mashable is one of the top 50 blog destinations on the web). Support us by visiting the article and commenting or sharing it on Facebook or tweeting it!
