Dec. 30, 2009 - PRLog -- IRVINE, CA – Earthbound Media Group (EMG) recently wrapped up the initial phases of its new client partnership with Hood College of Frederick, Maryland, completing discovery and initial creative for a comprehensive web redevelopment project. Additionally, Hood selected EMG partner Ektron as its content management solution (CMS) software of choice.
