ArticleProspect Experience DesignStorytelling is the Future of the Web by Christopher Butler on June 30, 2010Most of the successful marketing campaigns that stand out in my memory all revolve around characters. Some of them are simply charismatic spokespeople, like Geico's gecko, Nationwide's "Greatest Spokesperson in the World," or, I suppose, Burger King's creepy king. Others keenly represent the intended customer—think way back to Wendy's "where's the beef?" lady, or more recently to Apple's mac and PC guys. In all of these cases, it was decided that a more compelling message could be created by using characters to tell a story, rather than putting the product itself front and center... Read Now About

Article“Invisible” Wisdom, Part 1 by Chris Creech on June 21, 2010Training at Newfangled involves some required reading, so during my first week Chris handed me some books, one of which was Harry Beckwith's Selling the Invisible. I have to admit, I was fairly skeptical. The book was published in March, 1997—over 13 years ago. At that time, I had just celebrated my 9th birthday, and the internet was even younger. How could this book possibly relate to my work as an assistant project manager for a cutting-edge web development company in 2010? Read Now About

ArticleAt 10 Years, a Thanksgiving by Mark O’Brien on June 15, 2010I had as hard a time falling asleep last night as I did on June 14, 2000, which was the night before my first day at Newfangled. I'm not sure why I couldn't fall asleep last night, I even went to bed early in preparation for my big day. Today wasn't any different from any other day, though: I had a few meetings, followed up on some leads, made a bunch of new business calls, and had some great conversations with various Newfangleders. Nevertheless, the significance of this day has been unavoidable to me. Read Now About
