| Casie -- Since the launch of the commercial web in 1996, in-depth research of our industry has never been done on a nationwide scale. But what we do know about our industry, is that in 2008, approximately 50,000 Canadian digital media practitioners were the driving force behind an estimated $3.8 billion dollars of generated revenue. Given the lack of available data in this area, both on a regional and national scale, we've set out to make a change and answer the question of "How many people are employed in the digital media industry in Canada?". Now is our chance to answer this question. By collecting this data, we'll have a better understanding of the size and scope of the Canadian digital media labour force. For example, we'll understand the salary ranges as it relates to the job titles found in our industry, which areas of the country have the highest concentration of visual designers, and the relationship between education levels and job satisfaction. Canada, we want to hear from you! In the time it takes to drink a Tim Horton's Double Double, you can add your voice to Canada's digital legacy and help us answer the question "How many of us are out there?". Help us spread the word! We're aiming for 10,000 complete responses, and we need YOUR help in continuing to spread the word about our survey to as many digital media practitioners in Canada as possible. Tweet about it, post it to your Facebook wall, blog about this release or visit the announcement blog post and use the sharing tools and help us get the word out. Want to be famous on the Internets? We love people, and we're all about giving back and saying thanks. So when we decided to execute a campaign built around giving back to the people, we knew what we had to do. Here's what we came up with: For every 1000 complete survey responses we get, we'll randomly choose one survey respondent and send them a video message with a greeting, an update to our project as well as insights into our findings, and of course, a BIG thanks! To be chosen, simply fill out our survey and stay tuned to our Twitter account, our Facebook Fan Page, and our blog for new videos. And finally, have you signed up for our SMS notifications? In the coming weeks, we'll begin to send out some of our findings, news and other project updates to our mobile subscribers. To join, simply text 49PXLS to 123411 from your mobile device and you'll get early access to reports and other premium content. Until next time, -- Justin P.S: As always, I welcome your feedback, your thoughts, ideas and suggestions as we move forward in measuring the Canadian digital media economy.
