The Persistence of Mobile
In 2021, a record 70% of pages on Glacier community news sites in 2021 were viewed on mobile devices. This means that close to 70% of ads were also seen on mobile, with a single ad placement enjoying by far the most screen time: the Persistent Mobile Banner (PMB).

Led by the DESIMARK Director of Marketing, Manny Kang, we are thrilled to introduce Glacier Media's newest division focused on providing digital marketing solutions to reach South Asian audiences.
Will 2022 Mark a Renaissance for Design?
A rebirth of cultural, artistic, political, and economic development could be brewing as we speak.
Colour Story: Earthy Browns
Despite it being the most widely available pigment in nature, according to public opinion surveys, brown often finds itself reported as the public’s least favourite colour. Cultural and commercial trends paint a different story.
Colour Story: Christmas Green + Red
Many colour combinations can been seen in today’s festive season, but no other duos are as tied to Christmas than green and red.

Colour Story: Canary Yellow
In 1977, 3M initially launched the product under the name Press ’n Peel in select cities, only to receive mixed results. The company relaunched it 2 years later with a new name, and it became an "overnight" success.

European Renaissance painters depended on their wealthy patrons to fund the acquisition of this rare colour, and it was considered even more valuable than gold.
A Picture is Worth More Than Just Words: Social Media
The name of the (organic social media) game is brand awareness. Developing that recognizable and cohesive brand includes the visual language of photography.
