It's Friday afternoon and we know you're looking to get outside and enjoy this fall weather. But before you walk out the door for the weekend, take a look at what's going on around the Network this month.
doNYC’s CMJ Lens
As the CMJ Music Marathon heads towards its finale this weekend, we wanted to highlight one of the fest’s breakout acts -- doNYC.For those that aren’t familiar, the CMJ Music Marathon is a week-long music fest in NYC consisting of 1,400 acts playing 80 clubs spread out across 2 boroughs. It’s the Big Apple’s answer to SXSW, only without Lady Gaga playing inside of a giant Doritos bag. Think SXSW of the early 2000’s, not 2014.
Really wanting to take advantage of this influx of indie music fans, doNYC spent months putting together a badass Conference Lens for CMJ.
The Conference Lens format gave doNYC a number of big advantages for engaging the CMJ crowd -- including customized site design, a default “slim cards” view to pack more shows onto a single page, and a “view by start time” check box for sorting through hundreds of daily shows.
It took a lot of planning a design work from the doNYC team, but people are noticing. Not least of whom, the CMJ team itself.
The engagement numbers have also been pretty impressive this week, with more than 25,000 page views and over 20,000 unique visitors to cmj.donyc.com. That’s the most trafficked Lens in DoStuff history after the Do512 SXSW Lens.
Check out this week’s product update for more info on building Lenses in Radmin, and keep doNYC’s baller CMJ Lens in mind the next time a conference-style festival is happening in your metro.
DoStuff Office Exchange
Some of you are already clued into this, but DoStuff is doing its first Network Office Exchange this month. Members of the Delivery team are spending a few days with a metro to get a better feel for needs on the "front lines", and to provide a bit more hands-on assistance as needed.Google Hangouts and Slack are great and all, but it's not the same as working with y'all in person. And to be honest, we just miss your musk.
Here's the office exchange lineup for this October, and to those that feel left out don't worry. We're coming to hang with you soon.
- Oct. 20-24
- HazDF - Stuart
- Do214 - Ted
- Do206 - Kristin
- Oct. 27-31
- Do317 - Adi

Other News
Here's a quick rundown of other big happenings around the Network this month.
- Do502's Launch Party: After debuting their site earlier this month to the fine folks of Louisville, the Do502 team is throwing a launch party on November 15th -- the Saturday after the Summit. They're still in the planning stages, but rumor has it that one of Kentucky's hottest new acts could be playing. Let Jeffrey and team know if you're looking to attend!
- DoLA's Jack Daniels Pitch: Josh and the DoLA team put together this badass influencer program deck for their contacts at Jack Daniels last month. This is a perfect example of the type of prep that should go into one of these conversations. Josh said he's happy to make a copy for anyone that wants to use it as a template. (PLEASE do not share that link outside of the Network.)
- Do512's ECP Deck: Speaking of well designed sales decks, look at Do512's new ECP deck.
- doNYC's Birthday: doNYC turned two earlier this month! And you know what they say, the first two years are the hardest. Be sure to congratulate Jon and Johnny next time you talk to them.
- Do512's Raw Paw x PBR Activation: We'll leave you with this sweet recap video from Do512's "New Magic" party -- a collaboration between Do512, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and Austin's Raw Paw art collective.
