The recently created “Monday Night Gaming With Verne” events where Verne Troyer meets his fans online playing Xbox Live and Playstation got off to an incredible start, filling up Verne Troyer’s friend lists to capacity in the first day! The Iconduit Team have had a blast creating and setting up the weekly episodes and connecting Verne to his massive fanbase. The weekly gaming sessions have created opportunities for Verne to talk one on one with his supporters in a atmosphere where they can have fun and work as a team, something very unique to online gaming.

Never underestimate the power of social media. It is an invaluable tool that allows companies to connect directly with their customers, get instant feedback, and create opportunities that may have been impossible before. In the video above, you will see two former contestants on ABC’s “The Shark Tank,” featuring Iconduit client Daymond John, describe how it was their Twitter following that ultimately led to the appearance on the show, which launched their product on to store shelves and restaurants across the U.S.
Iconduit knows how to utilize the power of social media in order to promote brands, whether that brand is yourself, or your BBQ sauce, we can help you achieve your goals.
Iconduit is proud to announce the launch of the newly redesigned DavidHasselhoff.com.
Harnessing the power of user-generated content within David Hasselhoff’s large fanbase, Iconduit, in conjunction with a few of David’s biggest fans, has created a website where fans of David’s are able to join, create profiles, interact, and discuss all things Hasselhoff. As a matter of fact, David is using feedback from his fans on the website in order to determine where he should take his act next!
Already with over 21,500 members in the site, David’s presence in the New Media world continues to grow daily, and because Iconduit firmly believes that our work in the New Media world is never done, we will constantly be searching for ways in which we can improve David’s site, and the content within.

Iconduit is always looking into the latest ways of going viral and engaging an online audience. One way that has proved very popular recently is the “Flash Mob”. This is a group of people who show up in a public place and spontaneously break into a dance routine on mass. Joe, the Creative Director at Iconduit recently heard about one such event going on in LA to promote Janet Jackson’s new album and joined in to explore the process of creating these internet phenomena.After a series of rehearsals and some interesting lessons in the use of social networks and YouTube to co-ordinate such an event, the dance took place on Saturday and, dressed in a grey suit and tie like any other executive, Joe took part in two “flash mobs” at the Grove in LA. It was a great experience and a really useful way to see the power of the internet to bring people together to create something that gathers huge momentum on sites such as YouTube, promoting a cause. Joe is already buzzing with ideas as to how he can use this new found knowledge for the benefit of his clients. And here is the video if you want to check it out.
Iconduit, in conjunction with UK company, Never Odd Or Even, has launched an iPhone App for David Hasselhoff called Ask The Hoff. The app, which is available in the iTunes Store, has already proved to be popular and has won favourable reviews from fans and from the press with articles in the Northern Echo, Geek.com, and FierceMobileContent. Wes and Joe met with Paul Smith of Never Odd Or Even while he was twittering his way round the world (literally!!) to develop the app, which is a great example of one of the many ways that Iconduit creates New Media opportunities for our clients.
UK-based Teesdale Mercury News has published an article about Iconduit co-founder Joe Townley, and the unusual path that has brought him to the helm of the company. The piece focuses mainly on the strong relationship between Joe and one of Iconduit’s “larger than life” clients, David Hasselhoff, but it also outlines the power of using social media to reach a worldwide audience, and creating opportunities that just a short time ago may have been impossible.
