Archimedia Studios Announces Custom Mobile Apps

ARCHIMEDIA STUDIOS ANNOUNCES CUSTOM MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT

(Atlanta GA.) Archimedia Studios, a leading Design, Marketing and Branding firm to the film, music and corporate sectors for over 30 years,  announces that the company is expanding their client service offerings to include customized Mobile Apps.

With the continued growth of the smartphone and tablet, more consumers and fans will be getting their information from their iDevices.

“Brands are in the business of connecting with consumers. If there is one medium that’s perfectly suited for connecting with people, there is nothing better than mobile. It’s intimate, immediate and inimitable.” Says Vince Spagnolo, President of Archimedia Studios.

“One of the most vital aspects for successful cross-channel marketing is in the maintenance of consistency across channels and, in turn, maintaining the best user experience throughout, at every point that a consumer may touch. The difficulty is in how you combine the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ channels, not just to coexist, but also to contribute to each other to achieve customer conversion across multiple touchpoints.”

“We feel the mobile app can be uniquely positioned to provide this type of powerful cross-channel marketing solution. Wherever your consumer or fan is, they expect to find you, and they expect to have the same great experience across all channels. Maximizing communications with those consumers and fans will strengthen relationships, drive more revenue and differentiate the brand.” (Spagnolo said)

The company has a long standing tradition in embracing, adopting and adapting the ever changing “mediascape”.  Accompanied by their  “One Company, Total Solution” approach to orchestrating integrated  cross-channel marketing strategies,  Archimedia  Studios’ solutions have been proven to achieve  measurable growth, profitability and differentiation for their client’s brand in the least amount of time.

“Simple, powerful, profitable, brand differentiation is and will continue to be our trademark” (Spagnolo said).

Mobile Apps for client brands will be made available for  download from all the most popular app outlets, such as iTunes. Apps will also  support both Apple and Android platforms.

Luke Bryan – Sometimes things come in their own time…

Sometimes good things come in their own time. For country singer Luke Bryan, success came a little late, but he’s okay with that.

“It’s kind of taken a while, but it’s all come at the right time,” Bryan said. “You can have things happen too fast and not be altogether prepared for it. I wouldn’t have wanted to have anything happen faster.”

Bryan, a native of Leesburg near Albany, will be in Savannah April 17 as the opening act of Tim McGraw’s “Emotional Traffic Tour,” which also will feature The Band Perry. Bryan discovered music as a teenager when his parents gave him a guitar.

“I was 14 or 15 when I started singing in choir and youth groups,” he said. “I used to do a lot of plays in high school.”

After high school graduation, Bryan planned to move to Nashville to launch a music career, when his family was struck by tragedy. His older brother, Chris, was killed in a traffic accident even as Bryan packed his car to leave.

Instead of moving to Nashville, Bryan enrolled in Georgia Southern University at Statesboro. “I sang with groups all through college,” he said.

“When you get repeat customers and repeat fans, you know at least you’re doing things right because people are coming back to hear you,” Bryan said. “All through college, I felt ours was one of the best bands.”

After college, Bryan worked at his father’s agriculture and fertilizer business for a time. “I wasn’t very happy,” he said. “I realized it was time for me to move to Nashville. Looking back, it was certainly the best thing to do.”

In 2001, Bryan finally made the big move and within two months, had landed a deal as a songwriter. At the time his debut single was released in 2007, singer Billy Currington, a native of Rincon, was climbing the charts with “Good Directions,” which Bryan wrote.

In 2006, he married and today Bryan and his wife, Carolyn, have two sons, Bo and Tate. “It gives me something good to go home to,” he said.

His debut single, “All My Friends Say,” became a Top 5 single on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. His debut album, “I’ll Stay Me,” was released on Capitol Records that same year, and his latest album is “Doin’ My Thing.”

The awards Bryan has received include the Academy of Country Music’s Top New Artist and Top New Solo Vocalist in 2010. He received Country Music Television’s USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for “I Do.”

Since he released his first album, Bryan had Top Ten hits with “All My Friends Say” and “Country Man,” followed by three back-to-back No. 1 songs, “Do I,” “Rain Is A Good Thing” and “Someone Else Calling You Baby.” All five have gone gold.

The Bryan family experienced tragedy again in 2007, when his older sister, Kelly, died at the age of 39. Bryan has raised money for several causes, including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. In honor of his brother and sister, he raised money for the Leesburg YMCA by performing with some fellow Nashville songwriters.

McGraw is one of Bryan’s heroes, and he is excited to be touring with him. In Savannah, fans will hear Bryan’s new single, “Country Girl, Shake It for Me,” and some songs from the new album he is working on.

“Someday, I hope to be where Tim McGraw is, headlining all the shows, up for the big records, still making new fans and enjoying the fans I already have,” Bryan said. “I just want to continue to do what I love, which is play music.”

Success has finally arrived, but Bryan’s life hasn’t changed. “I still kind of go around and do the same things I love to do, although I’m a lot busier than I used to be,” he said.

“But it’s a different kind of busy,” Bryan said. “Instead of touring from a van, it’s a nice tour bus. Life is good and things are good, and it’s hard to keep a smile off my face.” (Linda Sickler and Best Country Singers.com)

Archimedia expands Mobile Web Support

Archimedia Studios announces expanded support for mobile devices in the company’s iCMS platform. “We have seen a huge increase in demands for mobile site design. The mobile web is becoming more like the PC web, and adaptations must be made ” , says Vince Spagnolo, President of Archimedia Studios.

A recent study showed that a dramatic increase in mobile web browsing came after the launch of the iPhone in 2008. The number of Smartphone users is increasing significantly each day with mobile browsers set to outnumber desktop browsers by 2012. Platforms such as iPhone, iPad, Android,BlackBerry and other Smartphones now offer very capable browsers. As a result, a considerable number of people visiting your website will be using their mobile phones. As a business or artist, you want to make it possible to anticipate those demands, and rise to the occasion. Mobile sites do just this by creating easier ways and more opportunities to convert traffic to sales.

If your website isn’t optimized for mobile use, you could be turning away these visitors. For example, if your site uses Adobe Flash, it won’t function properly on an iPhone. If your website is too busy and contains a lot of information, the mobile user may find it very frustrating to navigate through it.

Archimedia Studios iCMS platform now includes Smartphone and Mobile Platform Support for …

• Android Devices
• Apple iPad
• Apple iPhone
• Apple iPod, Touch
• BlackBerry Device
• LG Phones
• Motorola Phones
• Nintendo DS
• Nintendo Wii
• Nokia Phones
• Opera Mini Devices
• Palm Devices
• Sony Ericson Phones
• Samsung Phones
• Sony Playstation Portable
• Sony Playstation 3

Archimedia Gives Back to the Community

Design & Marketing Firm “Gives Back” to the community

Archimedia Studios, a leading Atlanta based design and marketing firm servicing the country music and film industries recently initiated a “Give Back” program, in order to help promote the media arts in schools that would otherwise be unable to afford them.

In addition to a number of southern schools that were chosen to participate in the Archimedia Give Back program, The Schoolhouse Learning Center, located at Dorset Farms in South Burlington, was chosen to receive $15,000 to further the development of its website and promote the mission of the school.

The main criteria for school selection for the program is for the school to truly live its mission.  Vince Spagnolo, President of Archimedia Studios,  recently had the opportunity to visit The Schoolhouse, and was delighted with what he saw.  He noticed that the joy students find in learning was evident from the moment he walked into the building.  He was impressed by the faculty and members of the Board of Directors, who all clearly live the mission of the school.  Schoolhouse dedicates itself to being student-centered, family orientated, and open to all forms of diversity.  The five-year vision of the school includes promoting, Science, Math, Technology and Sustainability.

With the new website, Schoolhouse families will be even more connected to the school.  They will be able to see their children’s work, read their daily blogs and much more.   Students will be able to enhance their skills in the media arts through “short courses” in media arts.   Through Archimedia Studios, The Schoolhouse Learning Center will also have a promotional film to use on its website and in the community.

Spagnolo observed, “when students are in a warm and inviting environment and are so happy and attentive, their likelihood of becoming lifelong learners and good citizens of the world increases tremendously.  There’s no better investment than that.”
