If you ever come across, or know of, a small brand/packaging focused company, or unit, or team, who would be up for a discussion do let me know. I have a client who wants to bring such a unit into his company.

Small units in the sector are going to find it tough going this year and next as the economy worsens and projects get cancelled or delayed so there may be a mutuality of interest here. Anyway, as I said, probably a long shot but do keep in mind in your travels round the industry.  

And so here's the challenge.  Can we, using social media tools, find the perfect team for him?

Firstly - get in touch if you are a team who want a conversation about being acquired 

Secondly - spread the word.  Tweet, Jaiku, blog, email and ole fashioned phone.  Let's use the network to find the perfect team for this job. If you can keep track of the chain of connections, that'll help me illustrate the power of the network later on.
