Webbmedia >> Adapting Technology for Journalism

Research

Webbmedia Group (WMG) is managed by Amy Webb, a strategic, digital product and business consultant to online media companies and other organizations. Amy founded WMG because the big consulting firms are broken. They're too big and too slow to prepare their clients -- in real time -- for what's on the technology horizon.

Members of WMG are fluent in several languages, including Spanish, French, Ukranian, Russian and Japanese. We have extensive experience working internationally and within emerging media landscapes. Consultants are based in Baltimore, Washington D.C., New York City, Houston, Miami, Raleigh, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Greensboro and Kyiv, Ukraine.
