Happy 8th Anniversary!

2012 is going to be amazing as Blue Marble Media starts its 9th year — with a fresh look and updated website!

Our new Studio for Sustainability specializes in environmental education and marketing. And we’ve also increased our services by adding digital publishing to the mix.

Don’t be left behind. Embed video, audio and weblinks into your annual reports, product tours, brochures, magazines and training materials and offer them in a variety of multimedia formats such as ePub, Blio and PDFs for interactive experiences on tablets, Macs and PCs. We’ve even created sample docs that you can download, then follow the directions to enjoy them on your iPad, Nook, Kindle, Mac or PC.

Plus, last year’s Irving YES Education grant was such a huge success that North Lake College asked Blue Marble Media to continue the project as iYES North Lake – a lecture series and professional development courses covering sustainability issues as they relate to American history. The Fall semester was very well received by students, faculty & administration and I’m currently tweaking the presentations for the Spring.

Blue Marble Media is looking forward to assisting you with your educational, marketing and digital publishing projects. It’s going to be a tremendous year! Contact us today.

On a personal note, the last 8 months have been difficult and I want to thank all the clients and colleagues who supported, helped and checked in on me. I’m so glad to say that I’m doing much better, although you’ll probably see me using a cane or crutches since I still walk kinda funny. In Texas-ese, I have a “hitch in my git-along.” But hey, I always strive to be unique…

Blue Marble Media’s Studio for Sustainability is ready for 2012!
