American Judge
Recently, I had the opportunity to help judge the 14th annual MITX Interactive Awards. You can see the list of finalists here. The winners will be announced November 17 at an awards ceremony at the Boston Marriott Copley Place. The MITX Interactive Awards honor the best interactive work from New England’s digital marketing & media community.
Judging the awards was a great experience. It gave me more insight into how non-designers look at work — and that was refreshing. My experience as a judge contrasted sharply from my experience in the workplace in some ways, and mirrored my workplace experience in other ways.
Teaching Brand
Our Clients Talk Back on Social Media
Last week over 50 clients of Corey McPherson Nash gathered to hear Chris Klaehn and Ryan Evans speak on leveraging social media to enhance branding and business goals. Conversation was lively in the room, but it was also lively online. Here are some highlights from the live tweeting that went on during the event:
Our 25th Anniversary Video
Over one hundred clients, friends and staff, past and present, gathered in November at The Decordova Museum & Sculpture Park to help us celebrate twenty-five years as the branding studio of choice for a wide range of leading business, educational, and cultural institutions.
Part of the celebration was this wall-sized looping video highlighting dozens of client projects from across CMN’s history. Enjoy!
Looking Forward
Over one hundred clients, partners and friends – past and present – gathered last week to celebrate twenty-five years as the branding studio of choice for a wide range of leading businesses, educational, and cultural institutions.
Cracking Peanuts: Gleaning Design Intuition from Comics
On June 20, I had the opportunity to speak on a panel discussion at the MIT Media Lab entitled “Media Fabrics for Media Makers: Realizing an Expressive Landscape for Digital Dialogues.” My other panel participants came from a wide range of creative backgrounds including feature films, video games, and interactive advertising.
The Boston Brand
In March 2007, we discussed the Boston Brand. On the one hand Boston has enormous pride – the lofty institutions of Harvard and MIT, the hotbed of medical and technical talent and innovation, the hometown of the Kennedy’s (and now Deval Patrick), the Patriots and the Red Sox (underdogs make a comeback), but on the other hand, we’ve lost a lot of our institutional business pride to national players – P&G bought Gillette, the Wang won’t show “Boston Ballet’s Nutcracker” anymore because of declining ticket sales and it has been replaced with “The Rockettes”, Bay Bank and Bank Boston are gone, Jordan Marsh and Filene’s are gone, etc.
The panel discussion was with the leading figures from Boston’s cultural, VC and brand world. Joe Spaulding from the Wang [now Citi] Center, George Bell from General Catalyst, John Carroll from the media and Kathy Sherbrooke from the business world. Listen to the event and let us know your thoughts.
