A wild week of press for Calder’s Catherine Geanuracos and Katrin Verclas

Given that we have launched barely a month ago, we have been getting, thanks to our various projects, some great press this week. The Canadian Boradcasting recently aired an hour-long documentary about the cell phone revolution that gives a nice global overview of mobile culture. Katrin Verclas from Calder Strategies and MobileActive.org is featured briefly.

In this week’s Economist, there is a special survey on ‘Mobility”. See the section on the “World of Witnesses” describes how mobiles are used in civic action. Katrin Verclas, Calder Strategies and MobileActive.org was interviewed for the piece and is quoted there.

Just for fun, David Pogue mentions on his blog Ringtones08.com, the “weird little site” Joe Lee from CitizenSpeak (hooray for Jo!) and I conceived for user-generated political ringtones.

And finally, for a press coup, Catherine Geanuracos of Calder Strategies and her campaign YrMomma4Obama was featured on the front page of the New York Times this week in a long article on how young voters influence their parents.

It is great to see that mainstream press is starting to get it. Will YOU in your next campaign?
