ReplyDeleteFran you are Amazing and when Transmedia Brand Mangers find out what the heck I am talking about may your dance card be full. I love the new site and to have you right in the room is an amazing use of Transmedia Technologies. Now you know my next step and thats getting brand managers to fund WCN Transmedia Research Projects where viewers can click on the really cool stuff you do, wear and oh yes talk about if they could understand a damn word you said. LOL Will be back in NYC soon and will look you up for a coffee. Take care and keep up the great work. Help me find other examples so we can have a Red Carpet Celebration as the audience will determine who will actually win in each category.
