Analytics: Dec. 2013-Feb. 2014

If you think we’ve gotten a bit sluggish about analytics lately, you’re wrong. Back in December, though? Well, that might have been a different story. These pageviews include December all the way up to Feb. 28: “Celebrate the season” happened sort of last-minute, and it had about a 2-week run on the homepage, explaining its […]

DIY Motorized DSLR Brushless Gimbal

Here at Interactive Communications, we like to experiment. We’ve built DIY camera rigs and try the nightly builds of Magic Lantern firmware on our Canon cameras. Heck, I even built my own timelapse camera slider, going so far as to write my own program to set the move speeds. We do it because we want […]

CASE 8 Conference in Vancouver

Well… Where to begin? CASE 8 held a lot of firsts for me: It was my first time at a CASE Conference. It was my first time at any conference. It was my first time in Vancouver, and my first time in Canada. I didn’t even really, fully understand the term “advancement” until a few […]

Job Shadow with Interactive Communications

Teamwork pays off

I’m very lucky to be able to work with an absurdly talented team. This year their work was recognized for excellence by CASE, our professional organization, for three different projects. The  silver award for “Floralia,” an interactive storytelling site that features rich content and immersive design, is especially rewarding because that project was conceived and […]

We are Interactive Communications

The Web Communications department has changed dramatically over the past few years as we try to keep pace with the evolving digital landscape. The advent of web video, social media and mobile devices has redefined how we communicate.  As a reflection of these changes, our team has grown from three web specialists to a group of […]

Analytics: Oct./Nov. 2013

We are in the middle of the holiday season at the moment, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t take a look back at the past few months of web traffic: Here’s a look at the stories we took down. Floralia was up on the homepage for a very, very long time. It was our […]
