As a guy who’s out on the front in social media, blogging and video you can definitely play a huge role in shaping the future of digital media in the region. Keep up the great work and we’ll both see how this whole transformation plays out.

You’re one of the people making it happen here in Sacramento. The Social Media Club of Sacramento is one of the org’s bringing groups together to foster growth and learning exchange in this area. Social Media is one big component of the Digital Media industry in this region that could be fostered and continue to grow. Our proximity to Silicon Valley, diversity of culture, and quality of life make the Sacramento region a perfect place to start and grow a media business. Gaming is another Digital Media growth area and companies like KlickNation are developing the next generation online game experiences.

I think you strike a great deal of points right on the head. I believe some further inter-industry collaboration would continue to benefit our region. It has been encouraging to see organizations like SARTA emerge as a powerful proponent of tech commerce within the area. With focuses on Clean Tech and Med Tech my observation has been that they appear relentless about improving the tech business climate in the region. But let’s not stop there. Let us heed your advice for further collaboration across more of our tech sectors that may be more in the cottage stage, whether it be gaming, smartphone apps, or other multimedia platforms, I agree – that the future of Sacramento could continue to be shaped by our ability to attract and foster growth within this market. We are fortunate to have the educational institutions to provide us with a competent workforce. If we work to foster a positive environment for the investment in new businesses, and help existing small businesses to improve their tech infrastructure, Sacramento could truly embrace it’s blossoming future as a ‘digital media hot spot’.
