I have the emotional range of an ATM. I don’t get excited often. Marc, on the other hand, is an artist, so he’s always jumping with some new enthusiasm. We make that work somehow.
Today, though, we’re both on the same wavelength: super-stoked.
Joel Burslem has joined our firm. That is a big deal for us, for him, and for our clients.
You may be familiar with Joel from his writing at Future of Real Estate Marketing Blog or his work at Inman News. Joel has also worked as a brokerage marketing director, a PR account executive and spent some time in the startup world. Most recently, he helped Brad Inman bring Vook to market.
He can write, he can think, he groks the real estate and technology picture and, most importantly, he can do things. Execute. That was key because we determined from the outset that 1000watt Consulting would be about getting things done, not just talk.
Joel is also Canadian, which we are hoping will help temper our 1000watt neuroses with a dose of good sense.
As some of you may know, all three of us sprung, in some manner, from the Inman News organization. That makes our relationship now even more meaningful because we carry with us something learned there: a belief that the real estate industry can be, it must be, better. We owe Brad a debt of gratitude for sparking that in us.
Joel will continue to provide editorial guidance to the Future of Real Estate Marketing blog. And we will continue to work closely with the Inman team on Real Estate Connect and other projects. But Joel’s first order of business is to help our clients, present and future, bring something meaningful and good to the marketplace.

Awesome! Congratulations to Joel, and to Brian and Marc for strengthening their team. Looking forward to seeing the continued good work form 1000Watt.
Keep it up fellas. As Chris Brogan would say… YOU ARE DOING IT RIGHT!
Congratulations to all. A lot of brain power in one place!
Sounds like a perfect fit. I think it is a tribute to Inman that people leave the inner circle and remain an integral part of the culture of connectedness associated with that organization.
I have a hunch 2010 will be a good year for 100Watt Consulting and for the clients smart enough to work with them.
Congratulations to you all.
Fabulous! Joel is one wicked smart guy, joining more wicked smart guys. Congrats all the way around!
Wow, that is one smart group of real estate dudes! Congrats Joel, Brian and Marc.
That’s awesome news for all of you guys. Congrats to Joel, and to 1000watt.
Does this mean that Joel can party with us once again, or are you fellas gonna keep him chained to the wheel?
-rsh
Welcome Joel. I enjoy FOREM and am sure you will bring a lot to 1000W.
Congratulations! what a great team each bringing an “A’ game to the industry.
Awesome Joel! I haven’t heard of 1000 watt except for you when you tweet about them. I’m glad they seem to really appreciate your special talents! best of luck.
Great news and congratulations to the entire team! You guys went from Awesome to Awesomer!

Congratulations fellas. All three of you rock. Couldn’t think of a more perfect fit.
Congrats guys!
That’s a great addition. I’ve always admired Joel’s work. Congrats!
It took two weeks instead of one for your next gig to become clear from when I asked you what your next venture was going to be after Vook, but I have to say it was worth the wait. Congrats Joel, and glad to have you back in the real estate vertical full time!
Awesome news!
Great news everyone with more power for your Clients.
Will you be changing the company name to 1500wattconsulting?
Congrats to you all! A fine addition to the 1000watt team.
Excellent news and congratulations to both 1000Watt and Joel. This feels like an invincible team with the horsepower to offer this industry thought leadership – hopefully outside of the US as well.
Maybe we are starting to see the emergence of 2000Watt Consulting – not taking away from what Brian and Marc and the team have established to date.
Thanks to all for the comments! Joel adds *at least* another 500 watts
Excellent news. Congrat’s to all.
Too many of you to thank individually…
But, thanks everyone!
I’m honored to be joining Marc and Brian on this 1000watt adventure.
Bright things ahead!
So THIS was the big news I saw you tweet about on Twitter. Left to my own devices I came up with a lot of possibilities but this is better than all of them.
Congrats Joel, Marc and Brian! I have no doubt you’ll all continue to make great strides by improving upon this industry’s way of doing things.
Congrats guys!! Awesome for all of you.
Well done all three of you! Besides the obvious choice to add a Canadian
the 1000Watt team’s influence and ability to serve its clients has jumped monumentally!
Congratulations to all of you. What a team!
1500Watts of bright bulbs. Where are my sunglasses?
Congrats guys.
What a wonderful addition to an outstanding team. You will certainly be lighting 1000watt ideas in your client’s businesses!
I can smell the smoke from here. Congrats!
