Insights from Nebo

Last week, Nebo Agency played host to a large group of marketers, consultants, designers, user experience designers, and educators as part of the Web Visions Event. Web visions is a global interactive event that explores the future of the web and mobile design, technology, user experience, and business strategy. The event is held in cities all over the world including Atlanta, Portland, New York, and Barcelona.The Atlanta leg of the Web Visions Event took place November 17-18, and included tours of interactive studios in the city, panels and presentations by experts in the interactive space, and a Mobile Hackathon for Social Good. Nebo was more than happy to extend some of our southern hospitality during the event, showing off our space and sharing a taste of our secret sauce.

As the weather begins to cool down, even here in Hotlanta, the Nebo offices have elected to stay warm with one of our favorite comfort foods, chili. The First Annual Nebo Agency Chili Cook-off was held today, pitting officemates against each other for the prize of the Golden Ladle.

Some brought the heat. Others brought the sweet. And some just brought some left over pork they had in the fridge. All shared some wonderful dishes that were enjoyed by everyone. Here are the recipes from today's event for you to enjoy and share. Oh, and if you feel like you have an award winning recipe (or would like to challenge us to a throwdown), talk to us in the comments below.

This week Nebo is sponsoring a digital dog adoption and we're focusing on pet rescue stories from our office.

Today's story is about a little kitten named Bandito. As ridiculous, cliché, and romantic as it seems, sometimes cats really do get stuck in trees. Just ask our president, Adam, who was in disbelief when he found his cat, Bandito.

Sometimes it seems like animals can sniff out Nebo Agency employees, knowing we could never turn our backs on any creature in distress. That seemed like the case with Octane, a loveable dog with a delicate condition who found its way over to our offices a few months ago.

Nebo’s love affair with dogs began a few years ago when we found a pup named Cami. Abandoned by her owner and wandering around a pre-reinvigorated West Midtown, full of desolate, cold, abandoned buildings, she made her way to our parking lot. We fed her, got her shots, and made her part of our family. Now she stands as the sweet, beautiful and fearless first lady of Nebo.

Between all the bites of taquitos and exchanging of business cards, the Global Learning Center at Georgia Tech was buzzing with marketing professionals gleaning new insights at the Atlanta Interactive Marketing Association's (AiMA) Content Matters event Wednesday night. Moderated by Colleen Jones, Principal of Content Science, the event consisted of a panel of interactive specialists from companies both large and small. Each panelist shared how they are making content work for their businesses.
