Market Expansion Research

We are ready to take our business to the next level. Banging Rocks has a superb track record with running Word Press & Mediawiki based sites for clientele in the legal domain, but our client base is extremely limited and we have yet to do any marketing or outreach! Our company requires assistance assessing our customer landscape outside of our current client list. We're hoping to identify likely prospects, and develop a solid marketing approach to help bring in more clients. To consider: which markets align with our current one? What additional services might we offer to make ourselves more competitive? Who should we be connecting with and how to generate more business?

Marketing AR Course for Youth

We have a cool new course we're forming, and want to market as an online offering and license it to youth camps! We have a fun way for youth (or anyone) to learn how to develop cool Augmented Reality for Snapchat Lenses using only free tools and resources, and an easy process (we've taught grade 10s to do it in a few hours and they had a blast). We're hoping we can turn this into the start of a whole series of courses on developing digital interactive media for youth. Banging Rocks is a tiny company that does Virtual and Augmented Reality for positive impact with an emphasis on transdisciplinary arts. As a for-profit company we're at a unique intersection point of the arts, academia, industry and not-for-profit worlds.
