EchoDitto reorganizes; alters mission to pursue ancient art of pantomime

April 1, 2008 - 12:55pm

It is with a heavy but excited heart that I tell you all: as of today, EchoDitto is ceasing to operate as an online consultancy and instead will refocus our efforts on the ancient art of pantomime.

MIMES!

For over four years now, we have worked to empower organizations through the innovative use of technology, but it’s time for us to move to a more creative arena. Along the way, we have become leaders in our field promoting the philosophy of open source collaborative solutions to real world organizing problems. Our influence has cut a wide swath, with former Dittos moving on to fulfill leading roles at media outlets, advocacy organizations, and political campaigns. Our team members have had speaking events from California to Austria, teaching industry leaders to embrace collaborative ideology. Our know-how has known few boundaries.

As such, we feel our work here is complete. The logical next step is changing the world through the healing power of silent movement.

First, we need to prepare. The entire team will be moving to West Bengal, India to attend the prestigious Jogesh Mime Academy. You can read all about it here. Needless to say, we are all extremely excited.

So, we bid you farewell. To all of our clients and partners: thank you for four years of phenomenal envelope-pushing work. You will be in our hearts always.

As a parting gift, and in remembrance of all the wonderful work, I hereby launch the EchoDitto Face Paint Fund to pay for all your face-painting needs for the next year. I will match, dollar for dollar, all donations to the fund.

Incidentally, the fund is capped at $100, so use the stuff sparingly.

Who do I get to stay with when I visit?
