The Print Production Professionals Group is the largest independently owned and operated Print related group, and one of the top 500 Super Groups on LinkedIn. Despite the assumptions that groups this large are a spamfest, our group is tightly managed allowing no free-form soliciting and only relevant topics are permitted on our discussion board. Yes, management that takes up some of my time… but its also the main reason why the group is such a success and continues to grow mostly by word of mouth.
I started the group in 2008, and in 3 years or so it has grown to over 24,ooo members. We welcome pretty much everyone involved in the production process from start to finish, on paper or through print media and digital mediums. It’s this mix of experience and knowledge from pre-press to post-press, concept to launch of a new integrated marketing campaign, to new technology which effects us all that makes our group unique and a fabulous resource for help with projects, referrals, job opportunities, and finding service providers when requested.
A while back someone had described Print Production Professionals as “like having 5000 colleagues down the hall.” Now at 24,000 and growing, there is hardly a subject that goes unanswered or a topic that is beyond someone’s expertise. It’s my group and Im still amazed at how much you can learn and how generous people are with sharing their knowledge. It’s more than a group, it’s a community, and one I am very proud to have cultivated as well as participate in daily.
If you are a member of LinkedIn, I welcome you to join our group, and take advantage of sharing the space with some really great people from all over the world, and share yourself in the process.
Hope to see you there – and as always Happy Networking!
