After seven years of reporting on the home building industry, I’m excited to join NueMedia LLC and its properties: CountertopIQ.com, FinishingIQ.com, WoodIQ.com, and FinishingRx.com. My past experience involves researching new housing and remodeling trends and products – including kitchens and baths, technology, regulations and more. This industry is near to my heart as I believe it affects every American.

Quality content that provides value is even more important today as many small businesses deal with the struggling economy, uneasiness of where the industry is going, and what is going to happen with the 2012 Presidential Election. As I move into my role as content manager on NueMedia’s brands, I promise to provide you with the content you need to know what is going on in the industry and what is coming down the pipe that will affect your business.

In order to provide successful editorial that gives you value, I must know that you are getting what you need from our brands. Please contact me to share ideas, concerns, excitement, announcements and more by sending an email at malley@nuemediallc.com.

In addition to housing, I am also passionate about the Web and social media. As part of my transition into the company, I will help to expand these tools, allowing you to receive content from whichever medium you prefer – or to interact with our brands and your peers in that aspect. If you haven’t already, please check out our Facebook pages and LinkedIn groups – WoodIQ.com, FinishingIQ.com and CountertopIQ.com .

I look forward to working with you all.
