Giant3

I started PlanetShifter.com with developer Cheth Rowe and graphic artist Andrea Fuenzalida over six months ago because we need everybody’s ideas and vision to re-build a healthier, sustainable and just world. We need to take risks. I want us to reach past our self-interest and fears to risk and share in new sustainable solutions.

Somebody just asked me if I would have started this project if I had known where the world economy would be on 03/03/09. I told her,” Yes!” We need to come together now!

Firm to Lead National Media Relations Campaign to “Land” Innovative Green Network

San Francisco, CA – February 15, 2008 – Longbow Strategic Group (LongbowSG), the Big Picture communications firm, today announced that it has been selected by PlanetShifter.com to spearhead the promotion of its online “Innovation Network”.

PlanetShifter.com is a collaboration to work network. It’s a think tank, a virtual water cooler meet-up, and a place to share and refine ideas about sustainability. The community will be driven by artists, musicians, writers and inventors. Rather than launch the new site, its creator and members want to ‘land’ it.

The first ‘Green City Web Portal’ rolls out with the City of Fort Lauderdale leading the way. The Community Greenhouse Foundation’s “Green Communities” program provides residents, organizations and businesses of the community a resource to discover, educate, promote and communicate the benefits of a “greener” community and life in South Florida.

With the goal of establishing fifteen green city web portals, we’re excited to announce a partnership with the City of Fort Lauderdale for the establishment of the first green city site, under our program.

Giant3 partners launch Get Green Directory, an online resource that connects people who care about what’s happening to the world they live in with businesses and organizations doing good things. Connected to the green building industry and the health and wellness world, Get Green Directory is built in sync with the Get Green Today Expo series.

How do you show that your business cares? How can you tell your story, spread the word, about the good work, products and services you deliver? Get Green Directory is a relevant, online resource that helps bring together people who are working for a cleaner, greener tomorrow.

How do you prove the value of your business to the world? You consistently deliver quality, service and satisfaction. Giant3 has been working with AllStar Printing since 2000.

“No matter how many competitive bids we place, locally and nationaly, Matt Longmire and Jef Beeman have worked to deliver quality print to our clients and partners. With each and every job, they exceed the quality our customers demand and beat others’ prices. They work hard for our business.” Eric Needle, President of Longbow, the Space Coast’s premier marketing and communications firm relates.

Melbourne, FL – GreenBrevard Magazine (www.greenbrevard.com), an online publication that spotlights Brevard individuals and organizations while discussing vital quality of life issues, was recently launched by Giant3 partners Eric Needle and John M. De Marco.

GreenBrevard is a good news publication, focusing on the positive contributions of people and organizations within the community. To that end, the magazine’s categories include art, balance, ethics, faith, fitness, nature, sustainability and teamwork. Each category includes original articles, interviews and spotlights, nearly all focused on Brevard persons, groups and events. The pre-launch version of the magazine, currently online, features spotlights on Leadership Brevard, United Way, 211 Brevard, and the Central Florida YMCA, among others.

The Brevard Workforce Development Board Inc.’s (BWDB) Job Link website won a $5,000 award in the category of Maximizing Resources through Technology. The new website was developed by Artemis and strategic partner Giant3 and helped achieve the goal of making the site easier to use and navigate.

In winning this award, “the Board was recognized for developing a new web site with a high-tech design and low-tech ease in operation, a unique and innovative web-based, online orientation called Tour of Services-Getting the Most from Brevard Job Link, and a web-based Youth Scavenger Hunt contest aimed at educating area youth on how to prepare for the workforce.”

Melbourne, FL – Artemis I.T. Solutions, The I.T. Department, proudly announces a rollout of its latest InSite implementation for Cumulus Broadcasting’s 107.1FM WA1A. WA1A is the leading pop music station, serving the Space Coast. WA1A is the Coast’s #1 Hit Radio Station.

The InSite product is a website content management tool that allows users to dynamically manage their own web content without having to learn design code or hire a skilled webmaster.

It also gives the customer a totally custom-designed website, unlike many out-of-the box competitors out today. Custom graphic work was done by Artemis’ Giant3 partner Longbow SG.

Melbourne, FL – Melbourne’s leading communications group, Giant3, today announced the formal inclusion of John M. De Marco Communications (JDC) into its network.

JDC offers public and media relations services, with expertise in speaking, writing and training. John De Marco is a regular speaker to local organizations such as the Melbourne-Palm Bay Area Chamber of Commerce; Brevard Association of Human Services (BAHS), Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs; and The United Way. His motivational talks have evolved into a workshop/keynote called “The Intentional Life,” and the “Communicating Life” workshop offers tools and techniques for developing and veteran public speakers.

Melbourne, FL. – InSite, The Intelligent Site system, has taken Brevard County by storm. Recently released, several top-tier organizations have partnered with Artemis and Giant3 to take advantage of this practical, affordable, leading-edge tool.

Have you ever needed to immediately update your website? Most businesses and organizations continually have to– and until now it was out of their price reach or in-house skillset. To meet these needs, Giant3′s partners Artemis and LongbowSG have spent the past year developing a system that puts control in the hands of their clients. Built around a “content manager,” InSite allows site owners and managers to easily maintain their own web content. It allows multiple authors to edit individual sections, pages and groups on every page, securely and easily. It’s as easy as editing a Word document.

Melbourne, FL – Artemis, The Space Coast’s premier information technology provider and Giant3, a strategic communications group today announced their partnership, by offering their new website solution, the InSiteâ„¢ system. InSiteâ„¢is short for Intelligent Site, and promises to change the way businesses and organizations build and manage their websites.

Both firms have been working together for over a year, culminating in this new offering. Artemis brings leading-edge web development and programming and the support of their 25+ person strong technical staff, as well as complimentary business divisions. Giant3 brings world-class design and strategic know-how with top-tier corporate clients as well as an intimate, overview understanding of how the web works and what clients need to use a website more effectively. Together they have created an Internet product that is without rival in Brevard County.

The Community Greenhouse Foundation is proud to announce the addition of Giant3 as its strategic media partner. Giant3 is a full service media communications group specializing in Virtual Tours of Green Buildings.

“We see green building as having one prominent issue – Awareness”, states Giant3′s founder Eric Needle. “If I can build or renovate, and lower operational costs simply by design and materials, why wouldn’t I?

Helping people jump to that conclusion is exactly what we’re doing with our virtual tours.”
Richard Evans, Community Greenhouse Foundation CEO sums up the relationship. “Giant3′s investor relations savvy, love for the environment and depth of talent upon which to draw, also made the foundation jump to the conclusion that they were a perfect fit.”

Next time you are online, check out our new and improved site — www.uwbrevard.org.

This site will aid us in our effort to build strong relationships with donors by creating a sense of community that illustrates the extent of our outreach. Basically, we just wanted to show how many people we touch. Plus, the site is easier to navigate and packed with information for both donors and those in need. Special thanks to Giant3 and founder Eric Needle for the time they donated in building the web site. Without their help, this site would not be possible.
