Ethos Media Information

Ethos Media was launched in San Francisco in 1997 during the beginnings of the dot-com explosion. By that time, principal Shane Iseminger had already been working in web site design and production for three years: first as an outlet for his documentary work as a photojournalist, then for businesses who recognized the potential of the web early on, and later as part of the ground-breaking 24 Hours in Cyberspace project, which garnered major coverage on ABC's Nightline, US News and World Report, NPR, the New York Times and many other news outlets. Immediately after that project, Iseminger launched Ethos Media, positioning the studio as a design firm that designs around the human experience , not around technological limitations or gimmicks. Instead of marketing exclusively to dot-coms, Iseminger chose to focus on less technologically-driven , and more varied, innovative and interesting , projects. Some of Ethos Media's first clients included Infoseek, The Institute for the Future, the Michigan Land Use Institute, CNet and more. Since then, Ethos Media has grown from a single designer to a small but flexible "custom" team of experts in specific areas, including programmers, database engineers, a project manager and other specialists. Today, Ethos Media and team handle projects large and small for clients around the world from its studio location in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with services expanded to cover the design of packaging, advertising and promotional collateral, online documentaries, as well as web site design, interface design, dynamic site engineering and strategic consulting.
