New Media
IB5k builds new media solutions for legacy institutions. We always start from scratch.
A Legacy of Practical Ideas
PBS Social Fundraising: Invited presentation detailing strategies for non-commercial fundraising with social media.
Within every legacy organization, big and small, public or private, is the potential to engage your core audiences with the new tools of our time to unlock the true potential of what you were founded on in the first place.
At IB5k, we don’t simply believe you can teach an old dog new tricks for the web 2.0 era; it is our mission to take your entire organization along for the walk, fleas and all. We respect your history, your reputation and your goals-which is why we work so hard to solve your problems. We not only want you to survive, but to thrive.
Since the Obama campaign, we have consulted with governmental institutions like Congress, major television networks, as well as corporations, to not just figure out ways to rethink their New Media strategies so they can die another day, but to build long term, sustainable software solutions that everyone can understand how to use, which actually solve their problems.
There’s an IB5k in our Team
For each project, we assemble a custom team out of our Brain Trust — a diverse group of social and traditional media gurus, software developers, and deep design thinkers-all of whom know how to lead on their own and get projects done on time.
Everyone you deal with at IB5k is not only quite personable — we can all explain complex technology in ways everyone can understand or we wouldn’t be here.
At the end of the day, our method saves you money. While members of our trust have been responsible for everything from creating initiatives at Obama for America, building 21st century cable networks from scratch, sucessfully bridging the gap between television and online video audiences, to developing custom-built software for NASA research and designing the open-source cafe at MIT Steam — only the right ones, at the right amount, are assigned to your project. There’s no dead weight when you work on a project with IB5k.
