About Us

Intranet Future was founded in 2009 by Jonathan Pollinger to advise companies how to improve their marketing, communications and customer services using social media. The ‘Intranet’ part of the name is a nod to Jonathan’s time in employee communications where he became interested in the potential of social networking. We’re based in Cheltenham, England and have clients worldwide.

We help businesses through:

  • Design and setup – partnering with our extended family (see below) we provide high quality Facebook Pages, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles and Foursquare Pages.
  • Training – we provide hands on training on optimising existing social networks profiles and show you how to use them
  • Consultancy – to take your social media use to the next level we offer best practice advice, creative ideas that work and measurable results. We also help PR and marketing agencies when they need specific advice on social media in pitches and campaigns.
  • Workshops – we run regular public workshops in Cheltenham on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and social media content. For a  more bespoke approach we offer in-house workshops for companies and organisations.
  • Strategies and plans – we write documents from 500 to 10,000 words that provide a custom and clear social media strategy for businesses to follow.
  • Public speaking – Jonathan is available for public speaking on all aspects of social media.

You can find more information on the Services page or contact us for an initial free 30 minute consultation to discuss how we can help.

Intranet Future inspires businesses to listen, connect and engage using social media. We believe and our clients have demonstrated that businesses can obtain leads and improve customers services using social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and Foursquare. We can provide you with the skills and knowledge to win business and provide great customer services.
