Going BIG By Going Small: Our New Home
Our second decade of operations has started off with a pretty big bang. At NMS, we've had a slew of new business wins including being named the Social Media Agency of Record for Chrysler and all of their brands while also onboarding a ton of new talent and continuing to grow Our Team of rockstars. While we value the past ten years and have built a culture rich with traditions, we thought it would be fitting to begin a new year and our second decade with a bit of a fresh take and something equally as new. So, we're moving...urls that is.

Should companies let their employees blog? Employee blogging has been a hot topic in the blogosphere, most recently when market research firm Forrester announced its controversial decision to not allow their employees to blog outside of the Forrester site. So, we thought it would be a good time to hear from NMS Founder & CEO Pete Snyder about NMS’s thoughts on employee blogging.

Checking In With Hyper-Local Marketing on Foursquare

Tweeting from the Tents: Fashionistas take to Twitter During New York Fashion Week
Anyone that knows me well knows that I have a (not-so) healthy obsession with designer Marc Jacobs. Bags, watches, shoes, match books, you name it, if there is an “MJ” on it, I probably want it, or already own it. So, you can imagine my surprise last Saturday when I got an email notification alerting me that “Robert Duffy is now following you on Twitter.” The President of Marc Jacobs is following me on Twitter?
What’s All the Buzz About? Why, Google Buzz!

CPG’s Love/Hate Relationship With Social Media
In terms of progress in social media, 2009 was a rough one for Consumer Packaged Goods Brands - otherwise known as CPGs. From Motrin Moms to the Skittles Interweb, it's no wonder some CPG marketers are apt to describe their relationship with their product's social media strategy as "complicated."

Real-Time Search: Brands Must Take Responsibility for Their Digital Presences
If you’ve conducted an Internet search recently, you might have noticed some changes in the results page. Search for “Obama” and you’ll see a new section in the middle of the page called “Latest Results” that list messages web users have shared on sites such as Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook. Now, more than ever before, organizations need to be aware of their digital presence to effectively manage reputations.
Savvy Savings When Cyber Shopping
Since the beginning of September I've been asked on four separate occasions if I'm receiving more opt-in e-mail spam than usual.
Of course, like the rest of my peers, I am. In the past, we would have received all of these discounts via the postal service or clipped them from back of the newspaper. But now savings are staring us right in the face when we check our e-mail, so isn't it worth our time to start taking these companies up on their offers?
Are You a Me-Former or An Informer? Does It Matter?
Two researchers at Rutgers University recently released a new study that found that 80% of those on Twitter are "me-formers." That is to say, they are Twitter users whose posts are updates about themselves, their thoughts, and their activities. The other 20% are classified as "informers" -- those who share information and links. The study found that informers tended to have larger networks and be more interactive.
