Where do we go from here…

• In today’s world, companies and brands need to reach across all the

manifestations of the web experience

• Your customers don’t differentiate your brand where ever they encounter it

• If you don’t guide their perception of your brand, they will without you

• Its up to you to start looking at the bigger picture

Conclusions

1. The Web has evolved into much more than Websites

2. With social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn, its no longer a

question of if your company belongs, it’s a must

3. Your Web site should be the hub, with a strong linking strategy across all

web experiences

4. Every place you exist on the Web needs to reflect your brand (but that

doesn’t mean its has to be branded.

Oh, and by the way…

Integrated experience isn’t limited to the Web
