I Need Sugar now on tumblr.
Last week we announced that we had moved Say Yeah’s website to tumblr. Today, we’re announcing I Need Sugar now has a refreshed site, also running on tumblr.
The original 2009 I Need Sugar website was designed before there was a logo, so the move to tumblr was more than just a behind the scenes switch. With a design refresh called for, the site now also supports flickr, facebook and Twitter widgets.

Our Value Pricing deck from last week’s NXNE Interactive panel.
Last week we had the pleasure of joining Sam Ladner, Jon Lax and our moderator Simon Conlin on a NXNE panel discussion about value pricing. Abolish The Hourly was a well attended session and, from on stage, appeared to be capture the audience. I suppose any time you challenge the status quo, people take notice. But this topic is really nothing new, though it may be somewhat foreign to the creative services industry.
