We talked about our effective methodologies and presented some of our cutting edge educational communications.

In order to deliver effective and creative results, kor group feels that no matter what the economic state or the clients’ budget is, we must follow a simple process with our clients in order to achieve their objectives.

get ready: beginning the relationship and scoping the process.
get set: presenting and vetting the findings that will shape the communications.
design: gaining approval for creative concepts that are unlike traditional approaches.

We showed examples of effective strategies, and cross platform communications for some of our higher ed clients such as; New England Law | Boston, Emerson College, and Assumption College.

I think both Antonelli and Ted.com are amazing intellectual resources, so here, everyone enjoy.

Also, if you’re feeling supergeeky like me, check out this recent discussion she had with mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot in Seed Magazine. Passion plus! Great material if you’re needing an inspiration boost.
