Social Media Strategies & Case Studies

A good introduction to social media.

Finding Creativity

What kind of person would think about using a tree as a musical instrument? I was amazed by what Diego Stocco was able to compose using an ordinary tree in his garden. Shuffling leaves, tapping bark and strumming and bowing on twigs. By considering the tree from a different perspective, Diego transformed it into something completely different.

Discovering new and unique ways to create something different from a common object or idea is a challenge for all creatives. We often set our own boundaries and expectations of what something “should” be, defined either by the project parameters or personal preferences. Overcoming these limitations opens up a world of new experiences and fresh inspiration for our work. What can YOU do with a tree?

Lights, Camera, Upload! Essential Tips for Online Video

[As posted on Sigma's Fuel for Thought]

I decided to round up some interesting facts, figures and best practices on online video, while many of my fellow Sigmites are out this week producing them.

Recently comScore reported that in April 09, U.S. Internet users viewed 16.8 billion online videos. Nearly 152 million folks watched an average of 111 videos, and an average online viewer watched 6.4 hours of video. The age of online video viewers trends slightly younger, however, viewership by Generation X and older boomers are at no small scale.

Turned on by Mr. Switch

Designed by John Caswell (UK) is looking for a manufacturer for his playful switch plate called, Mr Switch!

@smashingmag says this is “so simple, yet so beautiful” and DesignSpotter says, “Mr Switch’ is designed to add a little character to an otherwise inanimate object.”

I say, “when can I order them!”

Why Exit 163?

Yes, I’m from NJ and this is the exit to my office.  In a given week, I probably repeat these 3 digits at least a dozen time to all those who are planning a trip to visit me to share their latest and greatest offerings and possibilities.

This Exit 163 will be a short synopsis of new opportunities, sites, tools, apps, stats, etc. – those that I found to be interesting, worthy and filled with much potentials.  My goal is nothing but letting you know what new ideas and offerings I’ve encountered and let you determine for yourself if you want more information.  If you have or come across a cool new opportunity, please drop me a note at jkim529@gmail.com
