Brother Can You Spare a Dime-a look at the factory age

Brother Can You Spare a Dime-a look at the factory age

Last night was the 6th Annual Milestone Fashion Show at the Newhouse School of Public Communications. The major organizing principle during the show was affordable fashion and thrift wear. The program (a collaboration between Newhouse and VPA) featured six sections divided into a 9 to 5/Work to Play theme.

Kudos to the students, who showed that fashion can be a barometer for the times and still be creative.

Hooked on Data

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

Digital data entrepreneur and strategist Chuck Hemann gave a talk yesterday about trends in analytics at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication.  He highlighted new research frontiers in social media listening and advised that social and digital data should not be limited to public relations and marketing.

For the content curators in the audience Hemann gave this pearl of wisdom: visual content trumps copy; For the journalists/publishers, he offered a new take on the five-W’s:

  • What are people saying about your brand?
  • Where are people talking about your brand?
  • When are people talking about your brand?
  • Who is talking about your brand?
  • Why are people talking about your brand?

Hemann can be found on twitter and he is co-author of the soon to be released book Digital Marketing Analytics: Making Sense of Consumer Data in a Digital Word.

Shelly Griffin: Cents + Sense-Ability

Shelly Griffin: Cent$ + Sense-Ability

A statistic was cited during the recent Cent$ + Sense-Ability Fashion Show at The Newhouse School of Public Communications last week that the average American discards about 68 lbs of clothing and textiles each year.

In an effort to show that fashion too can ride the current wave of sustainability, this year’s annual fashion show for the Fashion Communication Milestone featured recycled materials, clothing, and material found in the trash. A host of material was donated by the Rescue Mission. The student designs promoted “Fashion in a Recession.”

A few of the evenings highlights included: hairstyles featuring soda cans as well as, Tina Fey impersonator and Newhouse Program Coordinator Shelly Griffin (pictured above).
