Recently, Social Ink launched a book-centered site to manage press and customer inquiries for The Mobile Marketing Revolution. The book, by fellow Brooklynite and Mobile Commons leader Jed Alpert, addresses how organizations can deal with online presence:

The Mobile Marketing Revolution gives you the framework to listen to, empower, inform, engage, and enlist the very people on which your success depends. From fundraising to polling to selling products and services, this book shows how to use mobile messaging to turn even the briefest initial interaction into a permanent engaged relationship. Better still, you can achieve all this without expanding overhead or building campaigns from scratch, but instead by integrating mobile into your organization’s existing processes and practices.

We are very pleased to announce the re-launch of the new website of the Association of Underrepresented Minority Fellows (The AUMF), with a completely revamped home at http://theaumf.org, and a complementary microsite for their dynamic Speakers Bureau initiative at http://sciencediversityspeakers.org.

Working with the AUMF has been an amazing experience for Social Ink, growing our services for Member Organizations. The site provides a robust and private platform for member interaction, rich profiles, sorting and filtering by an assortment of criteria, not to mention a media rich public face to the main site, offering embedded pdf brochures, slideshows, news, events, profiles, and more.

Social Ink also spearheaded the new visual identity, crafting a new logo, color palette, and typographic scheme, and extending the new look to both the website and peripheral print materials such as 50-page Speakers catalogue, and forthcoming postcard and other stationery. Read More about our work on the project on our portfolio entry.

Congratulations to the AUMF, serving a critical mission at the forefront of research, academics, education, and opportunity!

5 Reasons You Should Convert from a Flash Site to a CMS Powered HTML/CSS/Javascript Platform – Just Ask Insidewing.com!

When the Wing advertising agency decided to leave their Flash-based site and move toward a WordPress-based CMS platform we knew we have a whole lot to offer.

As fellow creatives we understand how important it is to combine presentation and functionality. Following the Social Ink collaborative model, we worked with the Wing art department to convert their designs to a fully functional, dynamic web home, free of flash, but not of powerful slideshows, smooth layered popups, and embedded video. You can read more about the project and explore similar work on our portfolio entry.

Leaving flash for a javascript/html/css solution offered the following advantages:

Better search engines performance (SEO);
Improved mobile viewing;
Faster content load;
Flexibility for custom development and a powerful framework and plugin-set;
The opportunity for non-technical staff to easily maintain, edit, and add content to the site, while retaining the look and feel of the site.

Let us help you with your next flash conversion or design conversion project. For more about the benefits of a CMS, read up on why we think everyone should be building websites with a CMS these days.

Social Ink is pleased to announce the launch of Motherhood Exaggerated, a site which showcases Judith Hannan’s newest book–a memoir that chronicles her personal struggle as a mother caring for a daughter with cancer.

Social Ink worked closely with Hannan and publicity firm LWC on the look and feel of the site. It was important that the site design convey the conflicting aesthetics of both spiritual and medical concerns, while retaining a closeness to nature and art.

The site will help publicize upcoming speaking events and facilitate book sales. It will also showcase snippets of writing, book reviews, and future endeavors. You can see more about the project in our portfolio, or head directly to the site. A big thanks to Green Desk co-worker Lisa Weinert @ LWC and Judith Hannan!
