In the context of the sharing economy, BlueBottleBiz (BBB) is dramatically
changing the e-learning and content marketing experience by merging
content and collaborative tools. We believe that collaborative learning
provides structure to informal learning and openness to traditional, corporate
learning. Thus, learners receive the best of both worlds.
Our mission is to grow the talent of each individual and of his or her
organization, helping them to communicate and share knowledge.

Our Mission

Unstable Market
Paper and ebook sales continue
to rise and fall. Publishers need
an additional avenue to reinforce
the revenue stream.
Brand Awareness Increasing Competition
With self-publishing options,
authors are looking into
simpler avenues to distribute
content.

The Challenge

market and digital arena, it’s difficult

forced to do more with less,
while continuing to be
efficient.
