R/GA dressed for success

Congrats to my friends at R/GA for the article appeared today on AdAge celebrating the success of the agency led by Bob Greenberg.

Verizon and the broadband stories

R/GA has created the web experience for the new Verizon corporate campaign promoting its broadband connection.

The site becomes a destination enabling guests to create profiles and share rich media (imagery and videos), and hosts the stories of real people, creating an understanding of how broadband is changing the world.
