Facebook Changes, Website Designs and Rebrands – 1Q12
Late in the first quarter, Facebook announced the launch of company pages in the new Timeline format. Businesses can now showcase larger imagery, as well as post historical dates and important events, or “milestones” in the company’s history. When adding the important milestones of your brand, keep in mind what you want to portray to the user about your company and its history, this is an opportunity to connect with Facebook fans on a deeper level than before. In addition, the new ability to feature significant content at the top of the page gives you more control over interactions with your followers, and can help ensure that important information remains prominent. By staying on top of all the latest updates, your company can harness the power of social networking for more meaningful interactions with your target audience. The team at Articulation offers full social networking management services, including Facebook page best practices, and more.

Using WordPress to manage the backend, Articulation designed an interactive and visual site complete with significant search engine optimization of content and seamless Facebook and Twitter controls for maximum exposure and reach.
Current Projects
MTV Hype Music artist, Marc Robillard, and the Articulation Agency continue their successful music branding and marketing partnership. Since redesigning the musician’s website and brand in early 2011, the team at Articulation has worked to mobilize Robillard’s fans and expand his reach through best practices on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and YouTube. During the first quarter, Articulation focused their efforts on promoting Robillard’s concerts. Through strategic social networking, the team is able to spread the word about both the musician’s concert and his music, as he continues to build his fan base. The musician’s branding, marketing and online promotional efforts were supplemented and supported by our design and marketing team.
