1. Your Marketing Secret Weapon – Slideshows

    MPP0044391 Your Marketing Secret Weapon   Slideshows

    by Kimberly Reyes (@CommDuCoeur)

    I recently sat in on an interactive discovery session and was asked by one of our project managers to draft a meeting summary for the client.  Being the marketing genius that I am, I organized pages and pages of data into elegantly written section introductions and elaborate multi-colored charts and graphs.  Two days and too many hours later, I zipped the unfinished report over to my boss for review, ready to receive a shower of accolades.  Here’s what I got instead:

    “Great…But why don’t you try turning it into a presentation?”

    If you’re anything like me, you probably associate presentations with cheesy sales pitches and not a deliverable product worthy to see the light of day on paper – much less on a client’s desk.  And if you’re anything like me, you’re dead wrong.  If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the value of certain marketing collateral, it’s that people generally underestimate the power of the presentation.

  3. How Continuous Integration Helps Us Keep Projects Moving

    Feedback Loop How Continuous Integration Helps Us Keep Projects Moving

    By Dennis Portello

    One of the differentiators of good interactive technology & development firms is process. Not smoke and mirror strategy mumbo-jumbo but the process through which innovative thinking is actually executed and delivered. It does not matter how great an idea is, or how good it looks, if it doesn’t work … it’s shite.

    At Zemoga, we pride ourselves on being able to deliver on the promise that innovation often reveals to us. How do we do that? We make sure that we follow the best practices out there. We learn from mistakes others make, and our own. We constantly improve. Perfection is not a destination but a journey nobody ever really completes. Just ask Tiger. Read More-->?

    Neutral Are You Stuck in Neutral?

    By Dan Licht (@thedvl)

    What do you do when a project is stuck in neutral?

    I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately and it percolated up to the top of my brain this morning when I was watching MORNING JOE on MSNBC. The panel was discussing President Obama’s plan to meet with the Senate today to discuss options for moving healthcare reform forward.

    BASECAMP lets us keep track of our stuff!

    BASECAMP is the web application Zemoga uses to track its project milestones, deliverables and “official” client communications. We’ve been using it for two years now and (despite the somewhat clunky zemogatime.updatelog.com URL) its easy to use interfaces and simple milestone and time tracking functionalities have improved our shared understanding of project goals and client commitments.

  8. The Agile Process

    cubes2 The Agile Process

    I know that some developers our there use the Hope methodology, some might use the Pray methodology, but those don’t really work for real, mission critical, high volume applications like the ones we build.

    So we went on a search for the kind of methodology that would facilitate fast, iterative, user centric application development. Most traditional methodologies are very “Waterfall” oriented (i.e. Read More-->?

  9. Book Review: The Back of the Napkin

    napkinfin 350 Book Review: The Back of the Napkin

    Simple sketches are often more compelling than technically adept Power Point slides.

    The book is broken up into four sections and two technical appendices. Interspersed with the text are countless line drawings to be used as reference. Ironically, as the reader begins to accept the central thesis of the book, it actually becomes quite difficult to read through the text, pause Read More-->?
