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 […]

Over the last year or two we have been working to get our google analytics profiles under control. When they were initially setup there wasn’t much future thinking involved. At the time it wasn’t the go to metrics source for our sites, so I am not surprised that it was developed a bit hastily. We […]

This is a quick video tour of our new office space. It is also a test run of a new toy that Justin put together. He picked up the new GoPo HERO3+ and built a motorized brushless gimbal. Which of course means, a thingy that helps keep the camera stable and smooth while you move […]

If you are interested in the subject I encourage you to read the full article. I will be honest it […]

For an upcoming football game all OSU fans are encouraged to wear Black apparel. It will be one of the first night games at Reser in a long time, so it should be a pretty incredible atmosphere. For the last decade (when we started winning) it has been a tradition for students to camp out […]
