The Ocean Agency

You read it everyday: Brands need to become more interactive online, but many times, brands don’t know where to start. This is where companies like the Ocean Agency jump in, giving mostly good advice on how brands can be more interactive and successful in today’s marketplace.

While many agencies are great at telling their clients how to succeed in a world of social and interactive media, their own presence is lacking.

At the Ocean Agency, we’ve had a lot of success building interactive web campaigns for clients, but now it’s time to practice what we preach.

We have a lot of fun in this office, and have characters with a lot of personality. We have strong opinions, and are just pretty interesting people overall. Over the next few months, you are going to get to know us. We are successful at what we do precisely because of the personalities of our employees matched with an office atmosphere that encourages both productivity and personal growth.

Great ready to hear more about what goes on here, on a personal level.

One of the things we love here at the Ocean Agency is the AMC television show “Mad Men”. In fact, Jacqueline Zenn (@jazspin, @seogroup), our Interactive Marketing Manager, seems to think that The Ocean Agency is the Sterling Cooper of 2009. Now, I won’t go that far, but it is amazing to work in marketing and think about how far we’ve come and what actually remains the same in marketing from Don Draper’s day.

So, if you’re a friend of Mad Men be sure to join us for our Liveblog of the Mad Men season premier on Sunday the 16th at 9 PM central.

Now, if you’re not familiar with what a Liveblog is, well, it’s essentially a real time conversation, but on the computer. Imagine if you were sitting chatting with your friends while you watched a TV show. Ok, now add laptops and you’ve got a liveblog!   You can even include all kinds of real time comments from Twitter and readers from all over the globe.  You can even include pictures, videos, and links in the platform.

All you have to do is come back on Sunday night and the Liveblog will be up and running. If you’re anything like us, you tend to be at your computer while you watch TV anyway– why not follow along with some entertaining and smart commentary as you watch?

Are you a big Mad Men fan? Would you like to be involved in the liveblog? Send a direct message to The Ocean Agency on twitter. Be sure to tell your Mad Men watching friends too! Can’t wait to see you (well at least virtually) on Sunday!
