Digital & Social Media

Savvy Solutions for Media Pioneers

Entrepreneurs. Social movements. Major corporations. Mom & Pop shops. All are using online social networks and digital media to engage and interact with viewers. Our lives are intertwined with this digitized world. Whether via computer, tablet, phone, gaming console, or other device, the daily information with which we are engaged is developed, stored and accessed digitally. It enables us to keep in touch with friends and family, learn what's happening on the other side of the world, research products we are considering buying, and access entertainment on the move. Mintz clients develop and deliver content and create the devices and software that make those activities possible.
