Sometimes we get press. Sometimes we talk about the press. Sometimes we talk to the press. Actually we talk to the press a lot. This is where we’re going to talk about talking about the press. Or something.

Here are some recent posts from our employees about Press:

benjamin’s latest adweek column on social media has elicited some really great comments in the past week. as did this recent piece in advertising age (featuring a quote from rick) discussing how agencies may need to think more like software companies.
HBO imagine was a favourite website awards site of the day earlier this month, and boards magazine featured another piece about the project.
and chandler was featured in an interesting boards article about unique titles and job descriptions.
awesome!

rick says good digital producers aren’t (that) hard to find.
Traditionally, bumping into a good interactive producer was like finding a mint copy of the Giorgio Morodor & Phil Oakey LP, a record so rare you spent five years looking for it before you found a copy. But The Barbarian Group’s Rick Webb believes the industry has turned a corner in the shortage of quality digital producers. In fact, he even made friends with a really good one recently and didn’t feel the need to offer him a job.

So Rick and I have a couple of panels in the mix for SXSW this year.
Please take a moment to click the THUMBS UP button on both of these URLs, and if you are super amped about it, repost as you please, and super bonus points if you leave comments.
Also we have a sick party at SXSW. Just saying.

User-generated content was feted as advertising by the people, for the people, but quickly became a byword for bad production values. But no one cares on the Internet, right? Rick Webb begs to differ.
check out The Fools Gold of User-Generated Content, rick’s third column for the ‘boards magazine blogs.

We’re so proud to announce that Fast Company has named Noah one of the 100 most creative people in business. THEY ARE SO RIGHT.
But that’s not all! we’ve got some sweet press hits over the last week. Here’s a quick round up:
- Rick has kicked off a sweet recurring column for Boards magazine. Up first is his Credit and its Gravity-Defying Properties piece.
- Adweek’s Brian Morrissey spoke with Rick about the good old production company / ad agency debate in his article, Digital Shops Caught in Transition.
- Colin Nagy mentioned our awesome GE Adventure project in his Social Media Free-for-All column in adweek.
- And the latest installment of Benjamin’s articles, The Scale of Social Media, is up online.
Enjoy!

Hahaha. I did an interview on behalf of my landlord for the Boston Globe and a story about smoke free apartments. Then the dude wanted a photo and I was supposed to leave at 7am to take a train to NYC so, lo and behold, at 6:45am, they take of picture of me making coffee. And it’s the sole photos of this piece. Hahaha.
Those are juggling balls inexplicably in the margarita vase.
