  • The Changing Face of Media

    In the broadest sense, media is made up of two general types: digital (online, mobile, social media) and legacy platforms (print, out-of-home, television, radio). As user interaction and types of media evolve, departmental strategy must follow suit. Korede, our media director, explains that “a user may need up to 12 touches or tactics to move […]

In the relative beginning (approximately August 1962), there was a man named Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider, also known as J.C.R. or Lick.

    In this industry, we should be singularly focused on building our clients’ businesses through effective marketing, right? Absolutely. That is until something called “award season” rolls around and we get the tiniest bit distracted by shiny objects.
