Carrot Creative Blog

As many of you know, Mike has been speaking around the country on the impact of New Media, the evolving interaction of people with Social Media and the solutions Web 2.0 has to offer said interactions. Not only are we proud of Mike, but we are glad to get him out of the office every once and awhile. But I digress.

We recently designed a sweet logo for his upcoming presentations. Take a look at it, and tell us what you think. We think it adequately depicts the topics Mike discusses (and it kind of looks like him too).

Mike, Bobby, and George came back this past Friday from Chicago. They split up and went to their parents for Easter. At that time we had not received updates about the conference until Tuesday. Now, I have the pleasure to inform you all about the complete success of the Chicago Carrot Crew.

Director of the Conference Robert Chiarito contacted us today
with the reviews of Mike’s speech on “The Perception Makers.” Mike received one of the highest scores of the conference with a 4.7 out of 5. We also received some interesting comments about his speech:

Mike, Bobby, and George are leaving today for Chicago to attend the Social Media 2007 conference. The past few weeks have been full of research and preparation for Mike’s speech.

We know you’ll do great, Mike! Good luck!

Carrot Executive Director Mike Germano will be speaking at Quinnipiac University on October 5th 2006 at 5:00pm.
His speech will be focused on the roles of individuals in the community, centering on the new role that the internet has taken in community activity. If you are planning on attending this event, please contact us for more information.

Carrot is proud to be renewing our membership with the Hamden Chamber of Commerce this year. We first became members in 2005, and have always appreciated the support we’ve gotten from our fellow members. We in turn offer the same support, and hope that our fellow members know we are always here for their marketing and website needs. We may be known as the nerds of the Chamber, but we know it is mean that in a good way. Besides, we are known to be the most fun at the after parties, so naturally everyone likes us.

Congratulations, to Steve Sohcot for being appointed by the Mayor of Hamden to the Hamden Technology Commission. This is a volunteer committee that advises the Mayor & Legislative Council on technology-related issues. Craig Henrici, the new mayor of Hamden, ran on a platform of creating a much improved technological infrastructure for the town. One upcoming topic includes, free Wi-Fi for the entire town. Mayor Craig Henrici, acknowledged that Steve is an expert in the technology industry and his sound analytical skills for problem solving as a benefit for evaluating all new technology in Hamden. The Carrot crew just wanted to say good job Steve, we just hope the meetings are not during Grey’s Anatomy.

Here at Carrot, we pride ourselves on the services that we provide for our community. While many web development companies interact only online we know the valuable of being part of a real community. With the creation of the Business Assistance Center by the town of Hamden Carrot was happy to volunteer two hours of consulting service to all new local businesses.
