claw you way up to be a Mogul

March 18, 2012

So there aren’t that many sites that start you off at the bottom and make you claw you way right to the top the reach your reward. But simply, but cleverly that’s what Hyper have done with the campaign site for Mogul – their smart looking iPad game.

As the premise of the game is to get to the top of the ‘social’ (read financial) ladder, it’s the the hyper fashionable parallax up-scrolling is sensible way for getting the point across. The visual look fantastic too, I’d play it (note to self: wishlist – new iPad!).

Contiki goes to Europe

February 21, 2012

Following on from the smart creativity of their last campaign – Pin Me If You Can (mentioned here), Contiki have only gone and done it again… but this time the search is on in Europe.

This Way To Amazing utilises the same game-play principals as Pin Me, but this time you have to track down the physical location of 4 travellers on their European vacation. Locational clues are time released in the shape of micro movies, making the whole experience pretty sticky, and once fixed in you used Google Maps and a Street View mashup to pin them down.

The whole gamification of the experience is heightened by the clever Facebook connection, bringing a useful social dimension to the campaign. And like the last version The Way simply feels smart.

It certainly worked last time and the experience is in no way diminished this time round. It’s a great idea well delivered.

A quick note on Valentine’s Day…

February 14, 2012

This lovely little video has been created to promote Field Notes - Red Blooded notebook – which has recently been added to their standard product line.

The ad is a lovely little love story, told through the notebook itself, a lovingly crafted love letter dedicated to the creators true love.

Perhaps indicating that there’s no love loss between FN and Moleskine (going by the style and delivery of the ad), there seems to be a battle ahead for the hearts and passions of all us creative note takers. Still it is lovely to see such lovingly crafted work.

That is a lot of Love! Good job it’s Valentine’s Day.
