Dan Hiscocks: The News Revolution

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Dan Hiscocks is leading the development of pressfothePeople’s business operations. He is a successful, serial entrepreneur on his way to jump starting his seventh business. Hiscocks set up an independent book publishing company 16 years ago (www.eye-books.com) in the United Kingdom. Eye Books champions people who are “living” as opposed to merely “existing” in an increasingly mechanized world. More recently, he started another publishing services company, Can of Worms Enterprises (www.canofwormsenterprises.co.uk) seeking to harness the passion and drive of independence while offering the economies of scale of the big corporate publishers. Hiscocks is involved in a broad range of content issues and campaigns, working to decipher how to aggregate content across multi platforms to drive meaningful returns.
