Engagency is proud to announce we've been selected as a finalist for the Chattanooga Technology Council's 2010 Early Innovator Award.

Engagency is developing a new social city guide and community media network, designed to make localized media and marketing a more animated and interactive experience. The pilot program, WhatsUpChattanooga.com, launched in 2010 with the goal of adding a new online component to the city's ongoing renaissance and economic development efforts.  WhatsUpChattanooga.com brings new widely popular social media, messaging, and Google Map technology to the traditional community bulletin board concept.  It employs an innovative publishing model, which gives local businesses and organizations the tools to be publishers, and the means to directly engage their audience. By relying on the goodwill and involvement of publishers, Engagency is democratizing access to local information and introducing new voices to help tell the story of our regions' quality of life.  Attracted by Chattanooga's unique qualities, Engagency's founders relocated their interactive web design agency here in 2006.  Encouraged by their success serving local clients, including Mohawk Industries, Playcore Inc., and DJO Chattanooga, they were inspired to invest in the Scenic City's future by developing a local media portal that they now hope will spread nationwide.

Join us to celebrate local innovation at the 2010 Spirit of Innovation Awards on April 28th, 2010.  more info >

Gregsby Gibbs, our WhatsUpChattanooga.com photographer put together a really nice photo slideshow of the public art that caught his eye around Chattanooga. We really like that he featured many of the pieces that people see every day, but also unearthed some sites that are often overlooked.
