About
Blogink was founded in the autumn of 2009 because no other company does what we do with a focus on small and medium organisations (SMOs). The technological advancements of Web 2.0 mean that it doesn’t cost huge sums of money to put together impressive, flexible websites, highly effective web marketing campaigns or all manner of other exciting web capabilities.
The astronomical costs associated with online services are the result of outdated, time consuming web technology which leads to products that many clients don’t understand and can’t use without external help. SMOs have often had to operate at the bottom end of the tech spectrum because they simply don’t have the budgets to cope with these costs.
Blogink utilises top-end services, provided by world famous Web 2.0 brands that are either extremely low in cost or completely free. This means that any invoice from us will represent our time and our stream-lined operating costs and nothing more.
The team have known each other since the year dot and is made up of extremely brainy, high-end web professionals with expertise covering marketing, design, systems/web programming, blogging and internet communities.

The Team
Robin Zadara – Founder.
Robin’s career has spanned the public and private sectors in both large organisations like DTI, Ofcom, guardian.co.uk and Google and small organisations in the education and recruitment industries. He has been involved with social networking since the late nineties and first became interested in blogging in the early noughties publishing university essays using blogs as global discussion forums. More recently he has enjoyed considerable success in the area of online marketing for small business clients and it is in this capacity that Robin has built up his expertise in social networking as a business communications tool.

Chris Sanders – Resident blogger and ghost writer
Chris is one of the original internet lovers. He was ‘blogging’ before blogging as we know and love it even existed. Chris began using html websites to publish daily snippets of political musings in the mid nineties and was shouting about how big the internet was going to be back when there were only 6 web servers in the whole world. Operating under several pseudonyms (which Chris insists remains top secret), he has been blogging full time for the last 5 years with considerable success. Chris also has a journalism background as long as your arm, writing for ‘The International Times’ and freelancing on national titles such as ‘The Times’ and ‘The Daily Mirror’. An expert in attention grabbing, Chris can write in styles loud, controversial and argumentative or considered, knowledgeable and thought provoking.
