Every minute, 24/7, worldwide, someone blogs, tweets or comments about TomTom. They asked us to get insights from that fire hose.

We helped TomTom to setup a team with the right tools (more about that later). Now, the team is following trends and topics, ready to engage the social web. Work in progress.

The next 6 months, we will launch two new services for the global market: Zapaday and Safeberg. We are looking for an experienced communication and PR professional to plan and execute a successful media and community launch for these brands. Look in our jobs section.

In September we will introduce Hitsplitter, a research tool for linguists, marketers, etymologists, journalists, brand watchers, cybergeographists and other curious folks. That includes ourselves.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the number of results Google comes up with? Do you ever compare a couple of similar searches on Google? Hitsplitter shows what’s where on the web. Go try, split some hits!

Have a story to tell? The Dutch National Archives and NRC Handelsblad are on a mission to preserve the (oral) history of the liberation of The Netherlands, 65 years ago. Read and listen to new bits of history every day at the story archive: hetverhalenarchief.nl.

We helped the National Archives plan, design and develop this new version of the site, based on an idea by Wim de Bell and with visual design by Atelier van Gog.
