Blog's been silent, but we're busy!

Have you heard the old
adage that the cobbler's children have no shoes? It
shames us a bit to say that, for a social media agency,
we've been a bit, uh, remiss in keeping our blogs up to
date.
But we have excuses! New employees! New clients! New offices! New services! In short, it's been a crazy couple of months around here as you'll know if you've been following our Facebook and Twitter feeds.
We'll have more to share shortly, but in the meantime... clients! It's been an exciting time with multiple launches, rebranding, new campaigns and more. Two worth mentioning:
First to the oldie but goodie. IID (www.internetidentity.com) (Internet Identity), which has delivered solutions that help keep the Internet safe and trusted since 1996, recently re-launched its brand which VOXUS helped drive from a PR and design perspective. IID also launched IID ActiveTrust, the first security solution of its kind for the domain name system or DNS (essentially the address book for the Internet). Coverage of the company within a couple weeks of the product launch and company re-brand were in, but not limited to, outlets like:
- Q13 (Fox Seattle affiliate) (http://www.q13fox.com/videobeta/c922a221-66e3-4328-8592-0475e1bc58d3/News/Preventing-Cyber-Crimes)
- Network World (http://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/051710-one-source-for-most-phishing.html?hpg1=bn)
- eWeek (http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Avalanche-Cyber-Gang-Dominated-Phishing-Attacks-636570/)
- Dark Reading (http://www.darkreading.com/securityservices/security/perimeter/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=224701084)
- SC Magazine (http://www.scmagazineus.com/avalanche-phishing-slowing-but-was-all-the-2009-rage/article/170052/)
Now to the new guys on the block. doxo (www.doxo.com) - backed by Bezos Expeditions and Mohr Davidow Ventures, and founded by three former Qpass execs - came out stealth mode to announce it is pioneering the way for people and providers to connect and go paperless with all of their transactional mail (i.e. bills, statements, notifications, policy updates, and other critical documents). Coverage again was overwhelming. doxo's launch was picked up by, but again not limited to, some pretty top tier outlets like:
- TechCrunch (http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/10/doxo-bezos-mohr-davidow/)
- U.S. News & World Report (http://www.usnews.com/money/personal-finance/articles/2010/05/19/smart-tools-for-a-paperless-home.html)
- ZDNet (http://www.zdnet.com/blog/green/amazons-book-billionaire-bezos-bets-big-on-paperless-transactions/11640)
- Xconomy (http://www.xconomy.com/seattle/2010/05/10/doxo-backed-by-bezos-and-mohr-davidow-comes-out-of-stealth-wants-to-help-businesses-go-paperless/)
How did you do it, you may ask? Let's just say we had a little help from our friends...
