For our client Ray-Ban, NMS is currently teaming up with GlassNote Records and the award-winning buzz band Two Door Cinema Club to capture Never Hide moments at music festivals around the country this spring and summer. With the Never Hide Ray-Ban brand vision as the backdrop, the band and the NMS production team have been capturing footage from the Ray-Ban cam (sunglasses equipped with a camera) as well as footage from their performances, interviews and other Never Hide moments. The NMS team is then assisting Ray-Ban in distributing the content through various social media outlets including blogs and a Ray-Ban mobile application.

Whether sharing a bottle with friends or paired with a 10 course dinner, wine is often the drink of choice for social gatherings. So it comes as no surprise that the most social of drinks would eventually embrace the world of social media.  Social networking sites, blogging and the rise of mobile apps are changing the way people buy their wine.

Multiple new group messaging apps, including Beluga, Kik, Fast Society, and most notably, GroupMe, all focus on doing one thing well: letting users communicate in real-time. Group messaging brings the walkie-talkie into the social age, providing an instrument for communicating with small groups of people using data, text messaging or conference calling. With smartphones now outnumbering ‘dumb’ phones, the time for group messaging has arrived.

It’s May and spring is in full bloom. Your snow boots are boxed away, baseball is back, summer sequels are preparing to invade your local multiplex, and the executives at your favorite television network are about to cancel one of your favorite television shows. Fans of Brothers & Sisters, Human Target, V, Chicago Code, Lie to Me, and other low-rated shows on the cusp of cancellation fret about the future of these programs because they are nearly guaranteed to be shuffled out the door for the limitless potential of the new shows being presented at network upfronts two weeks from today. Many of these low rated shows have a passionate following, so why would networks cancel shows with a vocal fanbase? The answer is simple: low Nielsen ratings.
