About Us

Global Wire Associates is a digital communications firm that specializes in creating compelling content and engaging websites, and hosting Internet classes for individuals, small businesses and nonprofits. The firm was founded in 2005 by journalist Talia Whyte.

We create solutions for
making technology and marketing
accessible and strategic.

Our Roots

In the beginning, the idea for Global Wire Associates started out as a simple blog called Global Wire by Talia Whyte.  After a few months of blogging, she started getting a small following of readers, which included Marjane Nakello, who was then an IT health management consultant based in Kenya. They would later hire Spanish instructor Maria Ferrara and technology reporter Philip Lee to help grow the blog into a sustainable business.

Our Journey

We started out hosting digital literacy classes for those who would otherwise not have that access.  As technology and marketing have evolved over the years, so has Global Wire Associates approach to working with the changing needs of its clientele.  Today, we are a full-service digital agency that also provides online classes and runs a design production studio, an e-media publisher, and an electronic waste consultancy.

Our Destination

When we started out in 2005, we were a staff of four individuals with the goal of making communication accessible to all.  Today, our dynamic team of 11 talented staff members works with communication leaders and managers in the nonprofit, private, and governmental sectors.  Since 2005, Global Wire Associates has worked with hundreds of clients in 54 countries on a wide variety of media projects.
