Finally and with relief, after almost three years trying to find the time we have it…a new 3^rd Time Media web site!

Why the relief? For those readers that are clients and friends of 3^rd Time Media, you’ll know exactly why I’m relieved. Our previous website never reflected us, the work we do – the work we don’t do, the environment in which we work and who we are - on any level.

Why? It’s simple, the work for our clients comes first, which is the same for all agencies. It’s taken three long years to find the time to put our own house in order. 

It’s been a tough ride over the past few weeks, trying to get this new website up and live before the Christmas and New Year break, but we knew that if it didn’t happen now we’d not get another chance for another 12 months or… possibly three more years!!

Our new web site is a great end 2008 for us, we’re all looking forward to the exciting work and challenges of 2009.

As always, we have people to thank, firstly our clients, thanks for your continued support, it’s been a great year full of interesting projects. And of course to our friends and families who have all played such an important role in where 3^rd Time Media is today.

Happy 2009.

A Very Warm Welcome to all you digital marketing managers, online marketing managers, directors, ecommerce managers…did I miss anybody? I bow down to you. Really! Being a digital marketing student myself who is frantically trying to finish a digital marketing assignment deadline, before Christmas, is on a seriously steep learning curve and, hence, my curiosity about your responsibilities and positions, is getting the best of me. Writing digital marketing objectives and strategies for the first time has been more than daunting and slightly intimidating at the best of times but I am nearly complete. That is just a fraction of the assignment. There is more to come. So, my curiosity is to all you managers that are tasked with this daunting challenge of objectives, strategy and justifying your decisions to maximize you’re budgets accordingly. Does it get any easier with experience and time? I would like to think so. How do you tackle this huge task and what do you like or dislike most about doing it? So many digital media channels to choose from. It’s great isn’t it?
