The New SKAR.com


The new website's here! The new website's here! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity SKAR needs! Our name online! That really makes somebody! Things are going to start happening to us now.

In case you couldn't tell from my overly-enthusiastic, "Jerk" inspired quote above, the freshly minted redesign of SKAR.com has arrived.
We at SKAR are proud to roll out this bad, mother-loving site chock-full of new features (SKARblogs, SKARsocial, an interactive timeline, etc.), a sweet new homepage featuring a unique way to view and share some of our best work, as well as other informative pages about the agency offering an inside look at SKAR.

The new SKAR.com is a departure from our previous incarnation (which was beloved) and this is the next step in the evolutionary process for the agency and our digital capabilities led by Vice President of Digital Marketing, Nate Hall.

So, if you get the chance check it out and let me know what you think of it in the comments section. I'd love to hear your feedback.

New Year's Digital Resolutions

Here is a list of my digital resolutions for 2009 (countdown-style in honor of Dick Clark):

10. Use Twitter more.

9. Download as much Radiohead, Buddy Rich, and Kings of Leon as my computer can handle.

8. Tell everyone I know to watch anything on Hulu.

7. Use Justin.tv to watch as many streaming televised sporting events as my satellite provider keeps me from viewing without paying a premium (especially the Big Ten Network).

6. Be more selective when adding friends on Facebook.

5. Join more groups on LinkedIn.

4. Limit my text messages and make more phone calls.

3. Limit my phone calls and save more money.

2. Convince more people that social media doesn't work like traditional advertising.

1. Grace the world with more mind-blowingly, insightfully-stupid, yet intriguing posts from this blog.

Happy New Year!
