Bubble!

If we're any sort of smart human, we all have jobs and on that job we are all but forced to communicate. Communication is a vital and needed portion of any job. With the advancements in technology how has communicating changed in the corporate environment?

For me, on my job of 17+ years, we've gone from strict email and telephone communication, to conference calls, to accessing and utilizing the text format of communication. These formats form a vast variety of other ways to communicate that can vary from job to job. One option that is now available is that of the Bubble Group Chat.



Available on both iOS and Android platforms, Bubble Group Chat allows our entire team of 25+ people to be in one message. We've done away with the majority of conference calls and transitioned to a more easy and accessible way to communicate.

You can group chat with countless amounts of people, you can video chat with a team, and you can even direct message someone specifically. This has changed how corporate communicating to teams has changed.

 

One concern that could arise are ethical implications of what is said over this format. It can't be used for any type of human resources information. It also cannot be forced upon a user to partake in the use of it. Because it's not a corporate driven communication tool, but rather a team led tool, it has to be given the option to use or to not use based on personal preference.

Live Streaming

Viewing movies and television has come a long way in how accessible it is. In the past, if we wanted to watch a movie we'd have to go purchase or rent the DVD. If it was a new movie, you'd have to go to the theater to watch it, or wait for it's DVD to come up for rent or purchase.  How things have changed in how we view these items. Now the options of live streaming services are easily accessible and at the ready. You can instantly view content via your phone, your computer, your tablet, or on your television if you have a smart TV.  Applications such as Hulu, Netflix and YouTube TV to name a few allow us the access to view as much content as we choose for one small fee.  We no longer have to go anywhere to purchase or rent movies.

Are You in Style? Or Out?

Communication in it's simplest form can be defined as the exchanging or imparting of information or news. In essence, this hasn't changed at all. We still exchange and impart information and news anywhere and everywhere and to anyone who will listen. It's the methods of HOW we communicate now in the digital era that have changed.

It then delved into radio and television and all of the news and information we could now glean from hearing or watching. Now as we progress in a very digital age, the style in which we communicate is more sophisticated and progressive that you have to keep up or be left behind. Now in the "new" style you can watch "TV" on social media platforms. You can use YouTube, Instagram, Facebook via your digital tablet, your computer, your smartphone, and m...

Visual Communication

As an artist, designer and creator it's important that I stay up to date on applications, programs and other things I can use to create. As a marketer and communicator the same can be said because I need to be able to communicate to my audience in a manner that caters to what they want. If I want to utilize social media to get my message out, it's important that I not only make sure my statement reaches my audience, but my visual content is designed in a manner that is easily readable. This is often a step missed in communication because we think we can just put our message out there by informal means, when in reality if we want to stand out it must be designed accordingly. This requires training on a communicator and marketers part. An easily accessible application that is now available on a smart phone or tablet (and computer) is that of Canva. "Canva  is a user-friendly design tool that makes it possible for businesses, marketers, bloggers, and other individua...
