Greetings New Media Fans
On-location media creation for the web and all kinds of other uses has become a specialty field that more and more companies are needing help with, and that has become the ZimmComm niche. Top it off with our own web publications and how do you define us? We're not even sure except to still call it "New Media.". We'd like to thank DTN/The Progressive Farmer for their sponsorship of ZimmNews, the ZimmCast and AgWired! |

New Media Tip
Small screen video is big. By small screen we mean YouTube. That's the grandaddy. But what are some of the new options? How about 12seconds.tv? Or if that's not long enough, there's always 15 second videos from Viddler ( http://15s.viddler.com/) and they'll automatically update your Twitter feed. Short little video clips that you can also embed on your blog or website. Now how cool is that? |

Southern Peanut Farmers Blog 
The Southern Peanut Farmers Federation held their annual meeting in Destin, FL this summer and Joy Carter, Communications Director for the Georgia Peanut Commission wanted to have it blogged. So she contacted ZimmComm New Media and within a few short weeks we developed the Southern Peanut Growers Conference Blog. Cindy attended the event and took photos, conducted audio interviews and shot video clips which were all posted, including to a Flickr photo set (483 photos) which as of this writing has been viewed 2,076 times!
SPFF obtained sponsorship of the blog from Trimble and Ag Technologies. This multi media website allowed people who were not able to attend to feel "like they were there" and provided a great resource for those who did attend to review the event and send links to industry colleagues, family and friends. It's also a great online archive of the event which SPFF can link to anywhere they want.
Joy has caught the blogging bug since she's created a new blog for the Georgia Peanut Tour and done a fabulous job of posting onto it.
If your organization is interested in having this service performed for your event, convention, conference, symposium, then you know who to call.

Advertising and Event Sponsorships
If you're a media company or agency, how are you obtaining brand awareness with your current and potential customers? How about an advertising and promotion schedule on AgWired? Sponsorship packages include display advertising, event coverage and our e-newsletter and podcast.
Besides promoting your brand, what about your customers and their companies? Looking forward to 2009 there's a wealth of opportunities to sponsor our unique brand of "live" event coverage on our sites (AgWired, Domestic Fuel, Precision Pays, World Dairy Diary), or on your site. We've already got a number of events booked but there's room for more!
Please contact Chuck and he'll be happy to submit a custom proposal for using the most search engine friendly agricultural news websites in the business.
