Welcome to Acktive Media
AcktiveMedia is a company that is focused on creating digital media content right here in Greenville, South Carolina.
Whether it's a commercial for on-air broadcast, motion graphics for your local tv show, online video, or your own internet radio show, if you need digital media production you've come to the right place.
I started AcktiveMedia with a simple goal, take my passion for creating digital media content and share it with the world. Along the way I've worked with a multitude of wonderful people who have come from various backgrounds including theater, graphic design, television, radio, film, music, and marketing just to name a few. In the 17 years that I've been creating digital media I have yet to lose my love for this industry and I continue to find new ways to explore the possibilities. Possibilities which are only limited by my own imagination.
I encourage you to take a look around and if you see something that interests you or even if you don't and you just want to rant about something you dislike, send me an email, I would love to hear from you and listen to your thoughts about the world of digital media.
Sincerely,
Stefan Holt

Thoughts on Russert and Content is Media
It's been awhile but I'm back from a vacation in Charleston, SC and I'm just getting back into the swing of things. Was sad to hear of Tim Russert's passing especially given that I blogged about his last show. I'm glad I got to watch it and see him in action. I always liked his delivery and style when interviewing guests and the back and forth banter, not too mention it is "the show" in political discourse. Needless to say he will be missed.
The Ipod Touch and Why ID3 Tags Matter for Podcasters
My Ipod Touch is amazing. As I stated in a previous post , I will be giving a complete review of the Ipod touch soon but for now I just wanted to leave you with a few things I've noticed. First, the interface can be completely customized and that's a good thing! You can put your favorite apps as quick touch icons in any order you like. I'm not too fond of the 4-button home row though. Seems odd?
