Mobile Application Development
iPhone, Blackberry, Android
Games, News, GPS, Social Tools, Camera and Video
Our mobile applications are part of a much bigger picture. Our mobile applications reflect the philosophy of our company. A branded mobile app should:
- Be dynamic and evolving
- Be scalable and robust
- Interface with social networks and invite the user to participate in your brand.
- Draw attention to your wider digital presence
Web Development
Microsites, e-commerce, content-management systems, custom APIs
We can build anything you want, cheaper than any agency, and with greater transparency. You can meet our developers and they can tell you anything you want to know about your site.
Concepting
Every website, application, and marketing strategy begins with an idea. We like to say that this is the best time to bring us onboard. In this phase, our creative, technical, and strategy officers will meet with you to discuss your needs, goals, and expectations. We will help fine-tune your idea and create a concrete plan of action, budget, and timeline.
Consulting

In this phase, our creative, technical, and strategy officers will meet with you to discuss your needs, goals, and expectations. We will help fine-tune your idea and create a concrete plan of action, budget, and timeline.
Information Architecture
Consider this a technical plan of action. Whether you're hiring us to build a site or a mobile application, we provide you with a map of the project. You can see every piece of the puzzle and you know exactly what you're hiring us to construct. Don't be fooled by agencies that don't budget for information architecture. It will cost you more in the long-run: in time, in money, and in quality.
User Interface Design
Our Information Architecture (see above) includes you a visual guide to what the user sees and when they see it. After all, the user is what this is all about. Our team has worked on platforms from data management tools to iPhone games. We've been employed by startups, established software companies, and design agencies. We've learned a lot about what works for users and what doesn't, and we provide you with lessons learned by all the companies we worked for before Iconoclash Media existed.
Marketing and Branding Strategy
Draw on our extensive experience in digital advertising, brand maintenance, and strategic development. We can conceive and execute campaigns and marketing efforts lasting anywhere from weeks to years, incorporating banners, email blasts, and viral marketing.
Interactive Design and Creative Direction
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
- Antoine de Saint Exupéry
Our goal is to present complex technology with clean and sophisticated aesthetics. We believe in form and function. One cannot exist without the other. By following strategic interactive design principles our creative team can take your existing brand or transform your brand into a successful tool within the online and mobile spaces.
Desktop Widget / Application Development
Adobe AIR, Flash/Flex, Objective-C, Java, Python
Custom, scalable application development guided by our mobile application principles.
Content Management and Proliferation
We design and build custom content-management systems, or can take over maintenance of your websites.
Mobile Application Hosting
Deploy and manage your mobile app on our servers for cheap, effortless, and secure application publishing.
Social Networking
Facebook apps, LinkedIn, Digg, Twitter, Flickr
Social Media is what gives your brand an identity. Our social networking services are multi-faceted, and you will need them to get your message out there and build your brand presence. We design and develop facebook apps, and can implement them into mobile apps. We can also design, setup, and manage your presence on Facebook, Twitter, and any other social network. These days, this is just as important as search engine optimization.
Search Engine Optimization
We employ search-friendly development techniques to ensure search engine crawlability and guarantee high rankings in the natural listings of search engines. SEO is dependent on a combination of smart coding, information architecture, and site design. Combined with a good social networking strategy, we make sure your site reaches your target audience.
Project Leadership and Restructuring
Let's face it - doing this work well is not easy. Projects can be chaotic and fraught with delays. But we're here to help! We can step into a project that's over-budget and off-schedule, and help you get back on track. Some warning signs we have seen in the past that restructuring is needed:
- There is no information architecture for your project, and developers are vocalizing distress over this.
- The technological choices your contractors have made do not make sense to you, and you can't get an adequate explanation as to why these choices were made.
- Creative Director or Developer budgets are being inflated by Production work.
- Developers are not collaborating well with each other, or with creatives.
- There are constant email chains about issues or content, late in the project timeline.
- If a project is too far off track, we can guarantee it will be cheaper and more productive to hire us to bring it back than to let these problems continue unabated.
From Idea to Application: Our services combined
Our projects begin with discovery and analysis, and include many or all of the above components. We started Iconoclash Media because we wanted projects that are bolder, more technically intricate, and creative than what other agencies offer. Tell us your idea and we will show you what you can do!
