Custom Digital Marketing, Social & Interactive Media Consulting

Overtime highlights

Marketers are relying on and will continue to rely on social media because of its cost effectiveness and its reach

Below are links to examples (and my 'first blush' analysis) of uses of interactive media.

If you've come across exceptional usage of iMedia, send it to us at imediamvp@theimediaplaybook.com
Blogs:
American Apparel -- multiple postings; not clearly marked on home page
ONE -- frequent posts, good use of visuals, clean design
Google -- good use of writers from across the company

Facebook:
NBA
Miller Lite (Multiple pages, different applications)
Miss Sprint Cup (Sponsor leveraging via personalities)
Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Chevrolet
