http://adlounge.ca/conversuasion/event.php
Once again, Ad Lounge knocked it out of the park with another completely unique networking event for Toronto's marketing community. Ad Lounge took over Toronto's famed Arts & Letters Club on historic Elm St. and had two of Canada's marketing luminaries, Collin Drummond of Crispin, Porter & Bogusky and Neil McOstrich of Clean Sheet Communications lead a fireside chat on the power of persuasion. Communicate New Media continues to proudly provide Ad Lounge with all of its digital services including website design and development, flash banner design, email marketing campaigns and online survey implementations.

CAPMA.org rescued by Super Heroes
http://capma.org
Well, not really. But amid the Super Hero themed 2009 CAPMA PROMO! Awards, Communicate New Media was proud to announce the launch of the completely revamped website for CAPMA (Canadian Agencies Practicing Marketing Activation). After years without a significant update, CAPMA.org was not a shining example of the best that Canada's marketing and activation agencies could offer. So in the interest of aiding an industry that has provided Communicate New Media with rewarding and interesting projects to work on over the years we offered our services to get the ball rolling on a new site. We worked very closely with Christine Ross and her team at Spider Marketing Services to pull it all together in time for the PROMO! Awards. Some of the new features include a job board and a facebook connect application that allows users to view and tag photos from the PROMO! Awards galleries.

Today, Communicate New Media is proud to launch the Great Canadian East Coast Adventure presented by The Walrus and Adventure Canada. Canadians (minus the unlucky Quebecois) can enter for their chance to win two berths on Adventure Canada's Atlantic Canada Arts Float presented by The Walrus. They will be joined by artists, painters, writers, musicians and other creative souls as they cruise up Canada's East Coast to some of this nation's most remote and breathtaking vistas. The trip culminates in a gallery showing of the art produced while on the adventure in Halifax, NS. Additional prizes include framed The Walrus cover prints, goody bags and one-year subscriptions.
People can enter once a day by signing in and they can also receive daily bonus entries by referring friends or by promoting the contest via Twitter.

Consumers can enter to win a daily giveaway of an Xbox 360 entertainment system.
And for those looking to really rock out, they can create a "band" for a chance to rock out on stage at the Tattoo Rock Parlour in Toronto. Users can design album covers and band shirts using an online graphic interface created by CNM. They can also link their social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook and Flickr to their profiles. The participants are then asked to get their friends to vote for them daily to get them to the top of the list. The winner will receive an all expenses paid trip to Toronto and rock out to some Xbox action on stage.
