Connectus Software, Inc., is wholly owned by Gary Charles Pick. Based in the Emerging Technology Center located at 101 North Haven Street, Suite 301, Baltimore, Maryland 21224. The company’s primary product is NewsBox, a platform developed, maintained and marketed by Connectus. Brand management is essential to any growing and leading business. A company’s brand may account for over 70% of the company’s value. Companies should not spam anyone, including journalists, and should take care in crafting and distribution of news and information. Potential customers in target markets are currently using expensive press release and media intelligence services to push their stories out to journalists or send their news to a network of websites with little to no quantifiable return. NewsBox is an affordable, disruptive, member-generated, interactive, storytelling tool that combines the best elements of traditional PR, social media, and content marketing into a single solution not currently offered by current PR solutions. NewsBox provides comprehensive yet affordable media monitoring while delivering more value than simple keyword search tools. NewsBox monitoring helps businesses reduce risk and the associated costs and provides a faster, better-organized solution for managing media mentions and following publishers of importance to the information worker. NewsBox currently has over 17,500 business users over 3,100 registered publishers publishing news, general articles, event notices and other information to a growing number of registered and non-registered readers. Pick, Founder of NewsBox, has a strong background in media and public relations. He started working for the Baltimore Sun (Tribune) in 1987. He moved on to work at several large communications in roles including sales, marketing, PR and technical consulting. Just prior to starting NewsBox, Gary worked as Master Partner of Qwest Communications, a nationwide facilities-based telecommunications and IT services provider.
