Client of the Month: JuneBug Review

Posted by Sterling Raphael
July 2nd, 2008

JuneBug Review is a dynamic new site dedicated to maximizing the consumer’s entertainment experience. JuneBug Review brings users together by offering the ability to share their views and opinions with one another through uploading movie video reviews and written comments. Understanding the importance of consumer desires, JuneBug Review also provides movie trailers, show times, ticket purchasing and pretty much everything else movie!

JuneBug Review blogs are informative and appealing for those eminent critics who want to match comment for comment. For instance, check out Steve Figeroua’s blog on “The Love Guru” , “Well the awesome touch was having a lot of John Stewart’s crew in the film with hilarious one-liners. This film did what it was intended to do. It made you laugh. If you’re a fan of the Austin Powers franchise, you’ll love this movie.”

To sum up what JuneBugReview.com will offer you upon each visit is relatively simple. It’ll never be the same. You’ll never log on and read slew of long winded declamations of praise or disapproval by a failed producer-turned-critic whose closest glimpse of notoriety was a short film rejected by Lorne Michaels in the late 1970’s. We are just everyday people with average lives, who share a passion for movies and a lack of enthusiasm for misleading movie reviews. We created this site to give you exactly what you deserve: A chance to share with others the experience YOU had at the movies!

Steve writes,

“We want that detail, that hilarity, that spark that gives us all a reason to keep going back to the theater every weekend. “

If you or you company deals in areas that are of interest to June Bug Review, NFi Studios would encourage you to take part in bringing awareness to your products in a way that stands out from the typical internet site. If you want more relevant advertising, take a look at the sponsorship opportunities available.

What’s New @ NFi?

NFi now a part of the Social Networking & Media Association

The goal of the Social Networking and Media Association is not simply to provide a platform and official association for anyone who has an interest in this area to join, but is also intended to be the model association of the future: Association 2.0.

This is a new association but much needed for the industry. NFi wants to be involved in the formation of this association, as well as the education and marketing to professionals. We will update you from time to time on news of the association.

CoLab Orlando & Coworking in Orlando

NFi is working with other techs and creatives in the community to support the launch of CoLab Orlando. CoLab Orlando is a Coworking Space for anyone looking to have a dedicated work area (desk or suite), and be part of a community environment. CoLab Orlando is located on the 6th floor of the Angebilt building and is a work in progress. The tradition of the Angebilt, Orlando’s most historic building, combined with the innovation of Orlando’s tech and creative talent, make CoLab an exciting project we can all share in.

Owner of the Angebilt, John Hussey, is calling on the communities feedback and support…
“Over the past several years I’ve seen the Orlando tech & creative community really emerge. As a commercial real-estate owner, I am proud to be part of Orlando Coworking. However, I know it’s not my vision that will make this space successful. CoLab Orlando is founded the community’s support and feedback. I ask for your feedback in what you want from CoLab Orlando, and with your support we will make this a success for our city. ”

- John Hussey, President/CEO, RealTrend Inc.

However, Google offers many other useful tools which can be beneficial and user friendly. The key is being aware of the products Google offers.

For instance, did you know you could travel around the world without ever leaving your home?

How About a Free Social Media Guide?

Posted by Elizabeth Baranik
June 19th, 2008

Social media is at a critical time as it catapults into the marketing mix, blurring the line between traditional and “new” media. As a way of contributing to this active social community, Brian Solis graciously shares his knowledge, insight and experience by authoring a free ebook, “The Essential Guide to Social Media.”

Most of us are involved in Social Media in one way or another, even to the extent where social media becomes integrated into the marketing mix. So there is indeed a demand out there to understand how social media works and even how social media impacts our future economically and in many other ways. Brian writes,

“Many companies are participating in social networks as a form of proactive outbound customer service with a twist of social marketing…Engaging with and empowering your customers as an extension of your marketing efforts isn’t new. However, in the era of social media, there are new tools and philosophies to more effectively listen and engage with customers.”
