How do you build digital projects that make your client go “Wow” every time? At Zemoga, the WOW is where we start.

Good ideas make you smile. Great ideas make you want to steal them. That was our first reaction to Paris 26 Gigapixels, a remarkable project that has stitched together over 200 pictures to provide one of the most detailed digital panoramas we’ve ever seen.

Words really can’t do this justice. You have to Read More-->>

What can data analysis and visualization tell us about ourselves?

This fascinating graphic from Pete Warden shows how cities and topics are related on Facebook. It’s a thoroughly modern take on the classic NINE NATIONS OF NORTH AMERICA.

You can read Pete’s full analysis of the data here.  It’s a terrific look at how we behave online and also a terrific illustration of the wealth of information that’s available on the Internet.

How are you taking advantage of all the data that’s out there? And how are you using it to create compelling content??

Our good friend, Chris Brogan recently posted his business wish list for 2010 and invited others to do the same. The timing seemed very appropriate to me as we are planning our holiday party here in Bogota and also continuing our month long focus on strategy for the coming year.

As I look back I find that many of my wishes for our business grow out of some of the things we started in 2009. It’s been an amazing year of growth for our company and I sincerely hope to build on that in the coming year. Here’s my wishlist for Zemoga in 2010: Read More-->:

When you’re presenting your company or brand, what kind of story do you tell?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. We’ve recently brought some new team members on board and all of them have to be brought up on our company’s story. I’m not talking about our “elevator pitch” but who we are, where we came from and what we’re hoping to achieve (both in business and life).

For me, this had never required much thought before. I’m one of the founders of our company and I’ve experienced every part of the Zemoga story so far (or at least a significant chunk of it). I can talk about our first clients, the early days when we we had a small team who would work crazy hours to get projects done, and the thrill and excitement of being part of the dot.com boom, bomb and recovery. But one of the challenges we face as a young, rapidly growing company is getting that information out of the heads of old timer’s like me and in to a form that can easily be shared with our team members and client partners.

Or to rephrase that question, what do you hope to accomplish before the end of the year? Our friend, Chris Brogan had an interesting post on his blog on Friday, talking about how he uses the holidays (a traditional downtime for most) to produce a lot of content. Here’s what he has to say about the subject …

Chris makes some good points and he’s definitely not the kind of workaholic who doesn’t believe in work/life balance. And there’s no arguing that he’s incredibly productive. But I’m not sure that everyone can apply the same solution to their own business challenges. Read More-->

We’ve written about the “primacy of content” and how it’s one of the themes that has been emerging from all the conferences and events that we’ve been attending lately. Another theme that’s occupied a lot of the discussions is the “conflict” between “traditional” and digital agencies.

The argument goes that “traditional” agencies (i.e. big firms like Publicis or Ogilvy) are faced with the choice of developing digital capabilities in house or farming them out to an agency that specializes in digital work. The sidebar to that argument is how involved the digital agency should be in the creative portion of the work. Should they have joint ownership of the branding efforts? Or is their role similar to a production house on a television commercial, more about execution than strategy? Read More-->bout execution than strategy?

That’s what a lot of our development team has been calling the windy city as we continue to work on numerous projects for industry leading e-retailer, Sears.com.
