We are partnering with our favorite email service provider to bring you a full range of content and campaign management services.
We have been huge fans of Emma and their excellent email campaign management software since first setting up our account years ago. Their fun and friendly vibe, great customer service, designer-friendly tools, and in-depth campaign analytics put them in a league of their own when it comes email marketing software providers. Plus, Emma is an eco-friendly company that infuses work with a healthy dose of social energy, so their values are aligned with our own as well. The fact that they just won a Winning Workplace award from Inc. Magazine didn’t hurt either.
So naturally we jumped at the chance to become an agency reseller when they approached us about it. We were already providing content strategy and design templates for many client projects, so adding Emma’s resources and tool sets to the mix was an obvious next step.
As an agency reseller Mightybytes can combine Emma’s feature-rich software with our own best practices for creating compelling email campaigns that are aligned with client content strategies, social media efforts, and brand guidelines. If you are looking to round out your communications strategy with some killer content, slick design, and a robust set of software tools look no further.

Last year, the screening of Oscar-nominated documentary Gasland that we co-sponsored with Chicago Filmmakers was a full-house affair. This year, we are upping the ante a bit with not one but three screenings of films related to sustainability, conservation and the climate crisis. Check ‘em out:
If a Tree Falls
Get yourself in an eco frame of mind before Green Week even starts with a special advanced screening of this documentary on eco-terrorism and the Earth Liberation Front. Thought-provoking and purposefully ambiguous, the film sheds light on the darker side of living green. If a Tree Falls premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and here’s what they had to say:
“Marshall Curry’s documentary tells a timely story of political action and environmental beliefs at loggerheads. His reconstruction of the recent history and unraveling of the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) is a fascinating exploration of a modern revolutionary movement and its efficacy… Detailing activists’ past disillusionment with public protest—and the police brutality and inertia that often followed—the film poses difficult questions about the possibility of effecting change from either within or without the system and examines the changed stakes for revolutionaries today in a world fixated on branding all dissenters as terrorists.”
For more info on If a Tree Falls, check out the film’s website or watch the trailer below.
When: Friday, July 8, 2011, 8:00 p.m.
Cost: $8.00 suggested donation
Carbon Nation
Bypassing politics and finger pointing, this forward-thinking documentary zeroes in on enterprising individuals—from a wind farmer to a solar-panel retrofitter—who are devising business-minded ways to avert the looming climate crisis. The cross-country expedition yields encounters with Virgin Group CEO Richard Branson, Earth Day founder Denis Hayes and former CIA director James Woolsey, along with everyday pioneers in low-carbon living.
All screenings will take place at Chicago Filmmakers, 5243 North Clark Street in Chicago.
We are excited to be a part of bringing these films to Andersonville and sharing in the festivities of Andersonville Green Week. If you need more information, drop us a line. Otherwise, we look forward to sharing these events with you!
Our work was selected from a pool of over 6,000 entrants, which, according to the announcement we received, makes the Communicator Awards “the largest and most prestigious award of its kind.” This is the fourth year in a row that Mightybytes has earned Communicator Awards for our work.
For nearly five decades GDUSA has sponsored national competitions that spotlight the most important, fast-growing and valuable areas of design for business and society. The American Web Design Awards—now in its third year—celebrates the power of well-designed websites and other online communications to attract audiences, generate engagement and response, and promote products, services and ideas.
Big thanks to the GDUSA judges for recognizing our work. We really appreciate it!
Statues are nice. We like statues. Especially shiny ones that are molded like the winged messenger god Hermes with his fist in the air.
Recently, Mightybytes earned two 2011 Hermes Creative Awards and an honorable mention, so we’ll have a chance to add some more shiny, fist-pumping icons to our awards shelf.
The Hermes Creative Awards is an international competition for creative professionals involved in the concept, writing, and design of traditional and emerging media. The competition recognizes outstanding work in the industry while promoting the philanthropic nature of marketing and communications professionals.
We are very proud of the hard work our crew has accomplished to receive these awards.
