1. Since you have several posts on Philips Design, did you know that they also do work for companies outside of Philips?

   This is true as long as there is not a conflict of interest by a direct competition.

   Philips Design is taking a lead position in some areas of experience design like there work around Ambient Experience.

2. Just found a cool way of “meeting” the guy who wrote the book on “The Experience Economy”
   There’s a free webinar on August 18, wher Joe discuss experience marketing and explore how companies areusing the power of experiences to differentiate from competitors and engage customers

   In his book, Pine discusses how smart companies are staying competitive by
   learning to wrap high-value experiences around their products and services. In this
   seminar he will discuss the importance of creating experiences that connect with
   customers in an inherently personal way and keep them engaged, informed, and coming back
   for more.

   For anyone wanting to attend, here are the details:
   What: The Experience Economy and Its Impact on Your Business
   Who: B. Joseph Pine II, co-founder of Strategic Horizons and co-author of
   “The
   Experience Economy: Work Is Theatre & Every Business a Stage”

   selling book, “The Experience Economy: Work Is Theatre & Every Business a
   Stage.”

3. I would also add Antenna Design to this list. Go to http://www.antennadesign.com and see why.

4. At the risk of sounding like a shameless self-promoter, I’d love to see MAYA Design on this list as well. We’ve been at it since 1989.

5. Thanks for including us in the list. Most appreciated. I was also pleasantly surprised to see our Carnegie Library project case study included in your September 1 posting.

6. How about Idean Research in Finland? http://www.ideanresearch.com

7. I think there’s a difference between web UX companies like Adaptive Path (or my own small shop nForm in Canada) and people that are looking at holistic experience across channels.

   Firms that come to mind in the latter category that I didn’t see above are Doblin, Jump, Conifer, Ziba, Stone Yamashita…that said, at nForm we are doing more and more outside of the web…
