July TAG Luncheon on Google Fiber: A Case Study In Irregular Social Media
Dear Members & Guests:
You are invited to TAG's July luncheon featuring a presentation on Bellingham's grass root campaign for Google Fiber: A Case Study In Irregular Social Media.
Bellingham joined in with several hundred other communities across the United States in a bidding war for Google's Fiber For Communities project. Among those interested in being a part of this locally were Nathan Carnes, Scott Pierce, David Wiggs and Chris Donaldson . Together, they helped to drive a grassroots effort to develop community interest in this project. For our July program our presenters will share their story of how they helped to rally the community around this project and how each individual contributor did a little part to help create a great campaign for Bellingham. This will be a panel discussion so questions are encouraged.
I encourage you to take a look at the 'Putting the G in Bellingham' video created by Hand crank films and the BellinghamAtlas site developed by Carnes Media before our meeting.
About Nathan:
Nathan Carnes is the principal at Carnes Media, a web agency based in Bellingham, Washington. With more than a decade of experience in web design and development, he geeks out about clean design and clean code, and has been known to correct people on the proper usage of "font" versus "typeface". Carnes Media is responsible for the BellinghamAtlas website, which was created to aid in the Google Fiber For Communities bid from Bellingham. It is an "interactive atlas of Bellingham to show Google that Bellingham is the perfect mix of big city and small town, urban and rural it's just right."
About Scott:
Scott Pierce is a content strategist with over 13 years in branded entertainment, media production, design and editorial experience. Over the years, he has fostered a working knowledge of user-centered design processes, information architecture, and best practices. Due to his background as a creator, a vendor and a client, he brings a fresh perspective to projects that require a business case for content.
About David:
David Wiggs is the owner of Hitch, a marketing consultancy focusing on strategy and resource development. He has a background in advertising, but don't hold that against him. He's also an entrepreneur, nice guy and enjoys penning his own bio. David advocates developing a niche and doing it well.
One of his philosophies is "Follow your heart, trust your gut, and do what makes you happy."
About Chris:
Chris Donaldson is currently producer over at Hand Crank Films, the company that created 'Put the G in Bellingham'. His background includes working with prominent companies in Los Angeles, such as Coppos Films, Ridley Scott Associates, Vivendi/Universal and Fox Studios - to name a few. He also has been a Marketing Executive for two Independent film distributors, as well as founder of streaming media company RadicalMail, which he sold moments after the Dot 1.0 implosion (yes, his timing could have been better).
