Digital Active has won the opportunity to re-develop the website of Olympus Media LLC (Alpharetta, GA). Olympus currently uses an ActiveOffice intranet to coordinate the business between their corporate offices in Georgia, and their market offices in 10 states across the U.S.  The new site will allow content management through ActiveCMS and will also be connected to the corporate intranet. The site will allow easy access to information on inventory for current and potential clients, and the site will also serve as a recruiting tool for attracting talented employees.

StartUp Weekend arrived in Lansing for a weekend of tech-driven competition from April 8-10. The weekend brought together software developers, graphics designers and business people to the East Lansing Technology Innovation Center (TIC) to create web and/or mobile applications and form a business out of the idea. The weekend was a roaring success, bringing in nearly 50 guests and 8 teams. Connections were made, partnerships were formed, and some of the projects that came to fruition at the event are continuing on to see if the business will succeed. Eric Jorgenson, the organizational force behind Lansing StartUp Weekend, had a "freaking awesome" time at the event. Said Jorgenson, "The most gratifying part for me was [to see] people who came from all over...  a number of people mentioned that they wished they had events, people and a culture like this in their own city. It's great to become a beacon of Startup Awesomeness!"

The winning innovation was Soapbox, a real-time barometer and crowd-sourced question platform for classrooms. The award for 'Coolest' application went to CampusRoutes, a map and pathfinder for campuses to reduce walking times to class and make it easier to find relevant events and specials. Digital Active was a proud sponsor of the event, which helped great ideas to come to life.
