I'm sure you've heard the title of this post from your friends or colleagues in the past. And yes, I've been guilty of saying it myself. I never understood how anyone doesn't have 5 minutes to reply or call back.But yes, "busy" is the exact reason we haven't been updating the blog on the Amplify web...

Yesterday, a few of us went over to a client’s office to conduct some team training on our content management system, Flow. Training clients on Flow is always the same: we briefly show everyone how it works, they exclaim about how easy it is to use, and then they shoo us out of the way so they...

It’s back to school day here in Nova Scotia, which has some folks in the Amplify office reminiscing about our own school days. Some of us enjoyed those days, some not so much, but it seems we all agree on two things: 1. If high school was the best years of your life, you’re really not tr...

This week on the Amplify blog we’ve been talking about visits to our clients’ workplaces, and today we’re looking at a client site that has undergone immense changes in the past year. We knew last winter that Dartmouth-based Survival Systems Limited was partnering with the Danish c...

We wrote yesterday about how nice it was to drop in unexpectedly on a client and find them busier than we’d ever imagined. It was a fun surprise, but not all client visits need to be surprising to be fun and well worth the trip. Take Rooftight for example. Rooftight has been our client for fou...

One of the strange things about working in a digital industry is that long periods of time can pass where we don’t see a client in person. We may talk frequently by phone and collaborate on projects by email, but sometimes months can go by before we able to interact in person. While this usual...
