How Infographics and Mini-Infographics Combine
We recently worked with the Verizon FiOS team to conduct and release survey data. Instead of the usual single release and infographic, we decided to start with an infographic outlining the whole story (not just numbers) and move to mini-infographics that were both designed for embedding in social and also served to keep the story [...]

Thank You, Kobe – A Visual Look at Turkish Airlines Going Viral
The Kobe vs. Messi video for Turkish Airlines is a great example of how social networks and earned news media combine to launch potentially viral content. At this point, it’s a pretty typical playbook for great advertising (something Samsung, a client, has done for some time now). Here, Turkish Airlines released a nice, simple infographic [...]

Our Latest Meetup – Your Home on Broadband Steriods

Why the Pebble Watch May Matter to PR and Marketing
So, I’ve been trying a Pebble smart watch for a few days. And while I’m tempted to review it as a gadget (does it need a slicker design, will people want a digital interface vs. the classic jewelry watch, etc ), that’s not my job.

89 Million: This Number Proves the Drudge Report is Full of It
Not that we needed proof Matt Drudge cares about accuracy, but I do think today’s unemployment headline on his site is worth tearing into as he runs one of the most trafficked news aggregators on the Web. The headline? 89,304,000 NOT WORKING is designed to make it look like today’s labor report found that over [...]

Radio Lives! 55% use radio to get the news during commuting hours, 23% use smartphones
In our recently released study on how people people consume news (download it at http://mww.pr/newsconsumption) , we took a look at how people use different devices at different times of day. I’ve copied the full chart below where we call out the most popular ones at people times like commuting in the morning and evening (radio, [...]
