Not All Sequels Created Equal
By : AMP Agency, ,
by Sara Koepsel, Intern, Strategic Marketing
Movie sequels can be a hit or a miss. Pirates of The Carribbean, Scary Movie, Home Alone, Terminator, and The Bourne Identity are all classic examples of movies that spawned sequels which both young and old consumers have enjoyed (or not enjoyed) over the years. When consumers learn of a sequel to a movie, it is safe to say there is little surprise. There is money to be made, merchandise to sell and collect, and box office records to break or disappoint. However, there are always exceptions. In this case, it is Pixar’s Toy Story 3.

An Intern(al) Point of View
By : AMP Agency, ,
by Julie Cohen, Intern, Creative Services
Four years, a college degree, and eight (yes, you read that right, EIGHT) internships later, I landed the Creative Intern position here at AMP Agency. Prior to AMP, I networked my way through New York and Boston, taking on different internships every summer of college, sometimes two simultaneously. Sure, there were the occasional coffee runs and filing, but in retrospect, I never had a bad internship. However, I feel like all my previous experiences were just one big test run for AMP.

The last time I watched Lost was Season 1, but the urge to indulge in this television event was too strong to resist. My low-investment approach turned out to be a great move: the ending made sense, and I wasn’t left looking for a bigger payoff. Not only that, but it turns out the 45 minutes of commercials weren’t the only place I found some marketing lessons. In the wise words of the Oceanic 815 gang, here are some parting thoughts.

Considering The Holistic Brand Experience
By : AMP Agency, ,
By Lisa Sawyer, User Experience Architect, Interactive
I recently attended my first IA Summit in Phoenix, Arizona. This summit has been an ongoing industry fixture since 2000 and “…is the premier gathering place for information architects and other user experience professionals.” This year’s summit was entitled “Taking it to 11” and called on practitioners to take the practice beyond its traditional borders and take on the world.
One of the conference highlights, for me, was the session I attended entitled “Leaving Flatland: Cross-Channel Customer Experience Design” given by Samantha Starmer from REI, which provided an eye opening look at how user experience designers can no longer design online experiences in a bubble.
