    Happy Mothers day from Digital Pulp

    In honor of Mother's Day this coming Sunday, a few interesting facts about Mom's and digital: Mom's are tech savvy (and love Pinterest): Our moms are actually more tech savvy than we give them credit for. In a recent study (http://www.babycenter.com/100_press-release-21st-century-mom-media_10365618.bc) researchers from Baby Center (http://www.babycenter.com) and Nielsen found that Moms are the new force in technology, becoming early adopters of the latest tech trends. Recently this was especially true in regard to the massive growth of Pinterest (http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/958469/how-moms-can-use-pinterest). Mom's and blogging: Stay-at home moms have been...

    Working with Responsive Web Design

    There's quite a bit of conversation going on these days in the industry (and in our hallways) about Responsive Design. We're working with several clients on assignments that incorporate this design technique. Very interesting and exciting stuff...more on that to come. In the meantime, we thought it would be fun to revisit our Holiday site: youbetternotstress.com, which was developed with Responsive Design. It was a big hit, and we had a blast putting it together.

    How we got our name

    Ever wonder how we got our name? Well, it's a bit of a long story. Our name is a combination of digital + print (we got our start in 1996 doing websites and print work..."Pulp"...get it?). It's also based on the medical definition of the tip of your finger. In 96' this finger was only hitting a key board or drawing board. Today, the finger tip is at the center of our tapping, swiping, digitally centered world.

    The DNA of The Digital CMO

    This is a nice piece, but we think it's great advice not only for CMO's but for anyone working in marketing (at any level). http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/170356/the-dna-of-the-digital-cmo.html Our only add would be an appreciation for the ability to tell stories through digital. More and more, brands are launching and promoting themselves strictly through digital channels only. As more and more marketers learn that this is possible (and in many ways more effective and efficient), it will be important for them to be able to see how the brand eco-system needs to be developed to support such an effort.

    Responsive Design: Notre Dame University…well done.

    University of Notre Dame Sometimes smart Web design works so well that you may not even notice it; and that’s often the case with responsive page design.  Responsive sites have been carefully designed to ‘know’ what will work best for each audience member’s browser, and deliver up the ideal layout for the situation. Today, increasingly large audience segments are browsing the Web on smartphones and tablets of various shapes and sizes, and that fact presents a host of challenges for designers of complex sites with lots of content. We’ve all experienced the frustration of trying to navigate a dense, wide homepage on a smartphone screen -- it’s often...

    your brand needs to be found

    Jack Loechner over at MediaPost had a nice piece this morning about Content Marketing. http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/171498/video-and-social-marketing-drive-content-marketing.html He points out that Content Marketing is being driven by Video and Social Marketing. A bit of a surprise to read that 87% of marketers are using video to drive their brand awareness (production companies must be having a very, very good year). But no surprise that 96% of marketers are using Social Media to distribute this content. Email marketing was collectively viewed as the least effective tactic for creating brand awareness. Again, not a big surprise to us but an important point....

    Pinterest for Education…an Infographic

    We spend a lot of time thinking through our clients’ needs and developing custom software solutions that enable them to communicate better and connect to their audience with less effort and more results. But not everybody can work with a digital agency to architect their ideal application, and sometimes it’s people whose work matters most that have the least resources to acquire digital tools. Teachers often fall in that category. That’s why we love to see off-the-shelf tools that make educators’ work easier and more productive...and cost nothing.  Just look at all the great ways a teacher can use Pinterest to help enrich their students’ experience.
