Clients

For the past twenty years I’ve worked closely with a wide range of business partners, including many pharmaceutical and medical device agency partners, but from either the non-profit or client side.

Now, I’m a member of the Mediacurrent team serving as a Project Manager working for my former self.

The roles are reversed and the past ten months have been interesting as I’ve taken what I’ve learned in the past, and am applying it to my daily work in order to provide the best client experience possible.

Customer service is big for me. When a company provides a truly stellar customer experience, I will most likely repeat business with them even if there was an issue that needed improvement. For example, I ordered my wife flowers for her birthday. The company delivered flowers that died two days later. Though I was frustrated, their customer service team was so outstanding that I will order from them again.

NASCAR Home Tracks returned for its fourth season on Drupal with an updated site, launched by Mediacurrent in time for this week's K&N Pro Series West season-opener at Phoenix International Raceway.

Mediacurrent helped introduce NASCAR and Turner Sports to Drupal in 2008 with the launch of the touring series web site, and has continued to build new features into the successful platform each season.

Updates for 2011 include:

With the last week's release of Drupal 7 and a steady stream of large enterprise sites continuing to migrate onto the content management platform, excitement abounds in the Drupal community.

Drupal Commons (DC) is a Drupal distribution billed as “social business software.” That means that Acquia is distributing Drupal bundled with some other modules preconfigured to work as a company’s interactive user-facing website. The most recent DC update 1.0 was released on August 5th.

DrivenByYou.com represents a new approach to buying cars online. Traditional online car buying guides users to shop for automobiles by selecting a make, model or year as the first step of the buying process. Autotrader.com decided to take lessons learned from shoppers at brick-and-mortar auto dealerships and apply them to an online car buying experience.

Administering a Drupal 6 website can be a bit challenging for website owners that are new to Drupal. J. Ayen Green's book Drupal 6 Content Administration (ISBN 978-1-847198-56-3) offers newbies a quick-start guide for getting up to speed on Drupal.

We recently completed a relatively small, but really cool Drupal v6 microsite that exemplifies to me how open-source is impacting traditional advertising channels (i.e. print, TV, radio, etc.). Unfortunately, the website (Neurowebcast.com) is for invite only guests, but works similarly to other messaging chats you have probably seen online.
