To commemorate the latest (and last?) installment of the Star Wars saga, we've had a little fun with our Netconcepts.com home page. (Don't worry, Mr. Lucas, it's only temporary! We'll take it down tomorrow.) Who ISN'T a Yoda fan? Certainly everyone at Netconcepts is! Have a look at what my clever staff (who obviously have WAAAY too much time on their hands!) have done to me:

Since our big corporate clients don't dare monkey with their brands in such reckless ways, we thought we'd let them experience such shenanigans through us. ;-)

You may already know my company, Netconcepts, has a regional office in New Zealand. With New Zealand being such a small market, it's a lot easier to get publicity in New Zealand than in the U.S. As far as Netconcepts getting publicity in New Zealand is concerned, yesterday was a red-letter day!

First off, in yesterday's New Zealand Herald there was a nice piece about Netconcepts and some recent SEO work for our client Verizon SuperPages.com. Also yesterday a TV crew taped me presenting at the American Chamber of Commerce breakfast. A 30 second segment of my talk was broadcast on this morning's ASB Business news on TV One (one of the major networks in New Zealand). And to top off the day, yesterday I learned that Netconcepts made it as a finalist in the 2004 New Zealand DMA's Nexus Awards. Winners aren't revealed until their gala black tie ceremony in February, so I'll just have to live in suspense for the next couple months.

Pretty cool. :-) Now I just need this level of PR activity in our primary market, the U.S.
