it’s lonely at the top

And that’s the way we like it.

There’s a reason the CEOs are getting lonely, and it isn’t because their expense accounts have dried up.

Suddenly, decisions aren’t top down anymore. It’s the group that determines if an idea sinks or swims. And a crowd of millions isn’t going to fit into that well-upholstered corner office. The active crowd is everywhere. The best a CEO can do is to stay out of the way.

That’s what Lonely CEO Media is about- we understand the social web because we understand our users. Decisions aren’t top down anymore, but there are tricks, practices, and methods that recognize that the power of crowds can send powerful messages. Crowd rule isn’t chaos- it’s collective judgment that promotes good ideas and eliminates bad ones. Whether it’s showing favorite content to friends, exploring new passions, or sharing the message about a brand, Lonely CEO Media understands the power of the crowd.

Specifically, we recognize that Facebook is one of the most powerful community building tools on the web. We’ve succeeded in harnessing that opportunity. As developers of some of the deepest and richest Facebook Applications, we know how to nourish communities so they can grow to their full potential. And we aren’t even close to reaching that potential yet.

Based in Chicago, Illinois, we’ve worked with a range of clients. Whether you’re a multinational company or a small startup, we can advise the best path for your Facebook presence, help you build an application that will boost your brand, and nurture your community.

This isn’t a trend or a fad. If it’s hype, well, we drank the Kool-Aid and we’re thirsty for more. The social web comes from an innate need to build communities, and now technology is finally catching up. It won’t go away. We believe that the CEO is going to be lonely for a while. That’s why we’re here to guide him through- it’s time to join the crowd instead of fighting it.
