United Insight hosted a great half-day conference last Wednesday in New York called “The Science of Word-of-Mouth in the Age of Social Media.” Like all conferences, this one was successful because of the quality of its speakers who provided valuable and actionable insights for attendees. Squeaky was fortunate to be in attendance and picked up a few gems about marketing and social media in particular that hit home for us. These are things that are standard practice for our own social media service offerings and what we teach our clients, but are key nonetheless.

Live Like a Local in SXSW
SXSW is one of the largest annual Music/Film/Interactive events in the U.S. and Squeaky and Crowdbeacon are excited to take part in it again this year. On our last trip down, we were in awe at how many awesome venues Austin had to offer (way too many to try them all). So this time we figured we’d better prepare for the sensory overload that will invariably occur.
After asking the good people of Austin (via Crowdbeacon) the places that must be tried while attending SXSW, we came up with an extensive guide to everything from the best karaoke bars to the best 24 hour spots with omelets at 2 am. Besides, who knows Austin better than the locals?
Check it out here and start living like a local.
We hope to see you down there! Get in touch with us! @SqueakyNYC @Crowdbeacon
Crowdbeacon: Turning Location Into Communication
We are thrilled to present to you the latest Squeaky Project: Crowdbeacon! What is it? Crowdbeacon is a location-based service focused on providing relevant, localized communication and information to users based on what they need and where they are.
Out and about and need to find the best drink specials by you? Maybe you’ve been busy and need to pick up a last minute anniversary gift. Regardless of what you may be looking for from Lagers to Lingerie, Crowdbeacon has the answer.
Now you may be thinking to yourself, “What is so different about this application? Aren’t there apps out there like this?” The answer is no. Crowdbeacon is unique because it is focused on communication that is supported by localized information. Other apps incorporate certain elements of the Crowdbeacon platform, but none of them are focused on helping people find more information about what’s happening around them through communication.
It’s time to give up on checking in and start checking out what’s hot around you. Don’t just take our word for it, download it for free today and join the Crowdbeacon revolution!
