I'm always blown away when I look back at the year's work, and 2007 is no exception. Seventeen movie campaigns (two number-one and six top-five openers, and two best picture contenders among them), three large-scale entertainment portals, seventeen banner campaigns and a handful of awards. Phew! What a year.
Of course, we have big plans for Real Pie in 2008, so stay tuned and plugged in.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!

Real Pie Media is proud to be sponsoring a month-long Celebration of Experimentation on Joseph Jaffe's new marketing podcast, Across the Sound. This is an experiment in monetizing podcasts and we're taking the opportunity to explore experimentation as a philosophy for marketing - and how movie marketing leads the way. Never shying from trying new things, Real Pie is excited to participate with Joe and hopefully make some new friends along the way. Subscribe to ATS now, and tune-in all month for all four episodes!
As 2006 draws to a close, I'm amazed at the great work the Real Pie team has delivered. We launched twelve official movie sites, among them two of the biggest indie hits (Little Miss Sunshine and An Inconvenient Truth) and the surprise hit of the year (Borat).
The Fox Searchlight studio site redesign was a tremendous success and I believe a huge step forward in the evolution of marketing independent film.
We also launched the new Excalibur.com and are working on CircusCircus.com for our good friends at MGM Mirage in Las Vegas.
As the year of "2.0" everything, it's fitting that our studio has somewhat reinvented itself. There are a lot of new faces around here - very talented faces - and I'm really excited to see what we dream up in 2007.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!

After almost two great years at Real Pie, our good friend Steve Isaacs has left to be the front man for The Panic Channel, featuring three members of Jane's Addiction including Dave Navarro. Steve turned his back on music a few years back and became a very talented Flash designer, but music came and found him again - which doesn't happen very often, so who can blame him? We wish Steve the best of luck!
Here he is at a recent show with Dave Navarro (Steve's the rockstar on the left).
FavouriteWebsiteAwards.com has named Garden State Site Of The Day.
We're off on another redesign of SOAPnet.com. Real Pie's creative partnership goes back two-plus years, and we're excited to jump into another fabulous face-lift.
