People are talking about your brand. Online. A lot.

Brandsinpublic.com is a public dashboard that collects many of those conversations in one place. Unlike a Google search on your brand name, though, you can curate this conversation by sponsoring the Brandsinpublic.com page about your brand.

When you take over your brand's page, you get to edit the introductory text, highlight the tweets and posts you like, point to your blog, your videos, your twitter feed, your corporate website and even (if you like) highlight ways to contact you.

When you take over your brand's page, you don't monitor the conversation (there are plenty of companies that will sell you that service for a lot of money), you coordinate it. In public. Where it's happening.

Brands In Public comes from Squidoo, a four year old, fast-growing internet company (founded by Seth Godin) that's been featured in The New York Times. Squidoo has a great reputation for easy to use public pages, high uptime and an excellent presence with the search engines.

The page you’re reading now, and all the sales and business support of Brands in Public comes from BzzAgent, an eight year old company with clients like L’Oreal, Pepsi and Philips. In addition to acting as the experienced sales agent for Brands in Public, BzzAgent provides each Brands in Public page with its own BzzScape, where consumers find, create and rate the best online content about your brand. For more information about BzzScapes, just ask Scott when you talk to him about Brands in Public.

Brands in Public costs $400 a month, with no long-term commitment on your part. You can pay by credit card over the phone. All the details are here in our FAQ.
