Importance of Web Security in Savannah, GA

Friday, November 4th, 2011

Website security is an issue that has recently been brought to the forefront of our attention recently.  We’ve been working closely with a number of our clients to work out some viruses that even your ENT physician would shy away from.

What we’ve learned from these latest events is that there’s more to keeping yourself and your business safe than just crazy passwords that no one can ever remember.  It’s about updating code, cleaning out spam emails, and making sure CAPTCHA codRead More....

Microsites – the web’s mini-marvels

Friday, October 21st, 2011

All hail the microsite! We love the website’s miniature counterpart. Microsites are like the cool little brother or sister, within the Internet family. They’re entertaining, interactive, and on a mission...a rebel with a cause.

Most microsites are created to promote a specific product or project for a brand. But unlike a company’s primary site, or parent site if you will, the microsite
often reaches out to the consumer in a more engaging way. It can be fun, playful,Read More....

Blog Fame – the good, the bad, and the ugly

Friday, October 14th, 2011

Sunday, October 9th, 2011

Time for Football Savannah, GA!

Friday, September 30th, 2011

In the south, we all know it’s football season.  The gridiron helps bring us together in a unity behind our favorite teams, helping us all feel a part of something greater than ourselves.  It’s the only time you can be in a stadium with 199,999 of your closest friends.

As for commercials – we all know the most expensive commercials anywhere are during the Super Bowl, so infamous in fact that a number of people admittedly watch the game only for the commercials.  The year’s moRead More....

Commercial trends with rivalries?

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

The latest commercials for New Era got us to thinking…when was the last time we could remember a series of TV Commercials that used rivalries to sell products?

-         Sports have used it forever – Lawrence Taylor vs. Terry Bradshaw in the 70s, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan in the early 80s
-         Great taste vs. Less filling
-         Krystals vs. the world (various fast food burger joints)
-         Cell phone companies vs. eRead More....

Google continues to amuse in Savannah, GA

Friday, September 16th, 2011
Randomly today, we changed our blog post because we stopped all production to take a moment and reflect on Google’s image of the day.
The strange homage to what appeared to be Valencia Oranges (yes, we’ve had a few in the office lately) suddenly turned into a “now we’re ready for Jeopardy,” moment. Today, Google recognized Albert Szent-Gyorgyi’s 118th birthday.  Who is that, you ask?  Funny, we did too.
Apparently Mr. Szent-GyorgyiRead More....

Keeping “social” in social networking

Monday, September 12th, 2011

We talk about this all the time – the importance of keeping your social media platform, yes, both business and person – as means to social outlets.

Too often, particularly for businesses, you get caught up in what’s going on with your brand, your business, your market, and you lose sight of why doing this “social media thing,” and why it is worth the extra time you put into it every day.

It’s all about connections – relating to your customers on a different level –Read More....

Twitter goes commercial

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

It begs the question:  Why do businesses need commercials?

When Twitter created their first attempt at a commercial – see it here – our office was a bit intrigued by the idea, on a couple of levels.

1)     Why does Twitter need a commercial?  Wasn’t it enough to be one of the largest social media platforms in existence?  Is there anyone that doesn’t know what Twitter is?  Does Twitter need a television preRead More....
