Our History

An unexpected opportunity arises to grow into the office space next door. Despite the abysmal economy, Orbit takes the plunge and doubles the size of the office, building out a complete video production studio in the process.

Orbit receives several awards including the Brill Street Generation Y 50, naming Orbit as one of the top 50 companies for Generation Y employees. It's a busy year with 98 websites launched, including two important projects:

McCall Patterns - a new ecommerce presence for a 150-year old business. It's really a family of five sites, process millions in transactions and connecting with the mainframe.
The Rub Hub - an online directory with maps, events and reviews. Members manage their own listings in a minor masterpiece of usability.

Other improvements in 2009 included our first mobile website (visit www.orbitmedia.com from your phone) and a revamp of our usability testing process. Orbit begins conducting user testing in a lab environment with small focus groups and big results. The Orbit team grows to 21 experts and specialists.
