    Agency 140 Focuses on Consulting

    About a year ago a friend Tom Green came to me with an opportunity and TONS of passion.  As good a salesman as any one selling history lessons to high schools students must be – he sold me on the idea of partnering up to help businesses and organizations develop and implement social media strategies.  It’s been a great way to channel my creative energy, years of new media, advertising and social mobilization experience.

    Always intended as a side project I’ve been experimenting for most of this year on just what the right work/life/work balance might be and I believe I’ve found it.

    Agency 140 will continue to meet with local non-profits and small businesses and help create social media plans, evaluate current plans and provide guidance and direction for improvements.  We’re staying away from managing the day-to-day, time-intensive campaign creation and implementation.   It’s fun and rewarding to meet with a deserving nonprofit and help close the gap between the perceptions and best practices of social media, email marketing and traditional advertising.

    If you have a small/medium business or non-profit and would like to evaluate your social media efforts please get in touch at will AT agency140 DOT com

    Let’s do this!

    Very best,

    Will Elliott, President

    What’s going on in the Triangle, NC? There’s a local app for that.

    TriOut Screen ShotWe’re excited about attending the launch party at RTP Headquarters this afternoon for the launch of a new location-based iPhone app, TriOut,  developed locally by Chapel Hill web designer, Lawrence Ingraham.  If you’re familiar with foursquare this seems like a hyper-local version.

    WIRED Mag Introduces New Digital Reader on iPad

    WIRED’s creative Director Scott Dadich (who, by the way, if we didn’t know better looks more like an actor playing Dadich – that’s a compliment) introduces WIRED’s  new reader.  If iPad is a game changer then this app could easily be a game changer for the publishing industry.  Simply put it’s beautiful, interactive beyond any experience to date – and looks fun.  If I didn’t read WIRED before – I think I’d become an avid reader now. And yes, I’d pay for it on the iPad – which I’m pretty sure is their goal after all.

    It’s fun to see the creativity unfold on this new platform – and we’ve only just begun.

    See for yourself.
