Thank you so much for sharing ALT Summit notes and ideas! I couldn’t make it but I’m eating up every word that has been posted about it since. I’ll definitely be there next year and will look forward to getting a glimpse of your super sassiness in person.

Munchkin!! I’m so jealous you went to Alt…I wish I could’ve gone, too. I just discovered Bakery and love it lots. Is there nothing you can’t do?! Congrats, e:) xx

Hi Fiona,
Great question.
I think the idea there is more interactivity and less static websites where the user just kind of clicks around. Basically, websites need to start to evolve or a brand’s thoughts about advertising need to evolve — it’s important to understand that websites are not the only way for brands to convey information anymore, even though many brands are behind the times so poorly that they think websites are “new” and “different”. New media = devices, apps, twitter, social media, and those types of platforms.

Hi – I was curious about the statement “At our ad agency, websites are already considered ‘Old Media.’” Were they talking about blogs? Was it that they expect more people to get content via mobile devices/twitter? If not, did he say what the “New Media” is and what they’re excited about?

Thanks!
Fiona

Love the shot (aces) and loved your points. Is it mean to say I was happy your run-down was not pages long?

Jaime, I think your first step to being “more personal” happened right here in this photo.

Perhaps we will see you there next year.
Cheers,
-Katie

Hello! New follower. Love your blog concept, and design. Wishing to promote my blog, but haven’t wanted to seem like i’m TRYING. but I guess that’s the whole idea. nothing is ever going to happen if you don’t try. Thanks for the great advice! I’m definitely hoping to attend next year.
