Employment opportunities for nature lovers with ArcelorMittal

ArcelorMittal recently launched a site created by Uranium to help recruit workers for its facilities in Fermont and Port-Cartier. Carried out in conjunction with a reputation campaign by TAM-TAM \ TBWA, the initiative proved very fruitful.

Uranium Interactive at the nextMEDIA in Toronto

November 29th and 30th Uranium Interactive attended the nextMEDIA event in Toronto. This event delivered top notch conference sessions focused mainly on subjects relating to the web, mobile and social media and by participating, we were thrilled to meet many new movers and shakers in the Canadian digital marketplace. We particularly enjoyed the session delivered by Jordan Banks of Facebook Canada that provided an in-depth examination of how this social network is essential in conducting business in Canada.

Waterpark Mont St-Sauveur won a boomeranG for its website in the category : Business to Consumer - Small Medium Enterprises (B2C SMEs).

The team at Uranium send our heartfelt congratulations and a sincere thank you for allowing us to take creative freedoms with the site while ensuring their strategic objectives were maintained. It might be a little cold for a heading out to the water slides, but visit the site if you didn't have the chance.
