Communication

30 Jan

At work, we are currently in the process of separating out our offering and it’s been really interesting to see how it’s been communicated out to our customers. On the new site that is being launched, there’s a blog which has detailed the stages of the site launch. It creates an informal commentary of what’s going on when the nature of the work means that it’s ongoing and difficult to pinpoint a time when it’s ‘complete’. So customers get reassured and accustomed to the change in plenty of time.

Nice site

Came across this site that I found really enticing. Was drawn to the design of it and the quality of the content. Really nice info on web branding. Also liked the way that the author used the site as a showcase for his work and then presented an opportunity to buy his book.  He’s also using lots of social media tools to promote his work. Very nice.
