Myjive Goes to Middle School
Posted March 23rd, 2009 by Jimmy Coburn
In November, Myjive had the chance to visit Lancaster South Middle School. Mrs. Peters, teacher of the technology and art class, invited us to give a presentation for their “Career Day.” Her goal was to show her students that you can have a career in art and to show how far you can go in Adobe Photoshop.
Our Creative Director, Ron Edelen, spoke in conjunction with Jessica Mushik (Classic Design Kitchen and Bath). Jessica went over some of the details of schooling and her trade. Ron gave a short presentation on some of the processes we use, different mediums for which we design, and showed our promotional reel. Then we opened it up to the kids for some questions, which was heavily dominated by questions about the gaming industry.
We later received thank you cards from the classes that we attended. They were created by Mrs. Peters’ students in Photoshop and were greatly appreciated.

2009 Charlotte Addys!
Posted March 12th, 2009 by Lindsey Reminga
The full Myjive crew was in attendance at the ’09 Charlotte Addy Awards show; enjoying every second of mingling with our peers, making mashed potato sundays and watching leaders in the industry confess their deepest secrets on the big screen. And although most statements were quite disturbing, it just goes to show that creative-minded people are all a little crazy in one way or another. Which makes us feel great about being loony tunes ourselves sometimes.
On a more serious note, however, everyone who won had amazing work that truly deserved to be recognized. The creative that went into not only the winning material, but also the setup of the show made us proud to be a part of this community. There is such a growing talent in Charlotte for art, design, branding, etc.- we’re excited to see what turns out for next year!
Kudos to all you winners out there! Read more at AAF.

No ESPN360 For You
Posted February 10th, 2009 by Albert Banks
If you are a sports nut like me, ESPN360 is pretty sweet. It is the web version of ESPN’s television network featuring 3,500 sporting events per year. But you can only view it if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has shelled out some cash.
For the past few years, ESPN has been forcing ISPs to pay a licensing fee for the website. If the ISP doesn’t pay up their customers don’t get access. Time Warner Cable is one of many ISPs who haven’t signed on, meaning no ESPN360 for me…
This is a disturbing trend if you are a fan of Net Neutrality. You know, the right to use your web access for whichever sites and software you desire. Can you imagine choosing your ISP based on the websites you can access or the programs you are allowed to use?
This topic has become a hot political topic and it will continue to be until we finally have some legislation governing the issue.

Charlotte Ranked #7 for Young Professionals
Posted January 27th, 2009 by Lindsey Reminga
Charlotte Chamber of Commerce’s young professionals group, Engage Charlotte, recently had a discussion with The Charlotte Business Journal to determine why Charlotte ranks as the seventh-most-desirable market for young adults 18 to 34 years old among the country’s largest metro areas.
The discussion includes the facts of Charlotte’s small business success, and our entrepreneurial spirit for innovation and growth. It’s a longer read, but gives great insight into Charlotte’s stride to the top! My favorite quote from the reading:
“Today consumers have more choices for products and services. In fact, nearly 50% of product sales are coming form products and services that are less than 2 years old. This requires companies to be continuously innovating and bringing new products to market. Does this innovation come from within a company or should a company look outside for innovation? Bringing new products and services to the market is about risk and reward. The costs can significant and therefore the rewards need to justify the investment. Innovation also needs to have a positive impact on brand, customer retention, and market share. The impact of not innovating could be detrimental.Once a company understands the importance of innovation, then they need to figure out how to innovate. Companies also need create a culture where innovation flourishes. A culture where risk is allowed. A culture where failure is not only acceptable, it is encouraged.”

Ron and Teammates are Vicious and Delicious
Posted September 15th, 2008 by Ron Edelen
It all started with a friend asking if anyone in the room was a runner. Ignorant to the details, I raised my hand. Without fully understanding the challenge, I had committed myself to run a 208-mile relay through the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains. With the support of 11 killer teammates, the event turned out to be a beautiful experience wrapped in my own physical humility. Continue Reading Post »
