Owner Showcase launched last week on OPEN Forum and it represents the first manifestation of Booming on OPEN Forum. There are fantastic micro documentary highlighting some of our most successful and dynamic business owners and their respective successes.

OPEN.com Booming Index Launched

Christian — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 00:35:23 +0000

This morning we launched a new OPEN.com home page which serves to outline a new platform for OPEN. The page combines a number of dynamic real time elements via a CMS and Social Aggregation system that pulls in the latest and greatest Booming stories. We’ve also included a component of the campaign where users can share their own success stories to perhaps be featured in marketing to come.

We’ve built the site to have comparable experiences, sans dynamic elements, in both HTML and Flash. Check out the new OPEN.com page:

Two more effies…

Christian — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 14:13:06 +0000

Today I am proud to announce that work I’ve been the technical lead on was awarded two more effies. Both VW Routan Boom and OPEN Forum.

The effies represent a unique award in that it takes into account more than just the creative merit:

“Each year, the Effie Awards draw in thousands of campaigns with budgets ranging below $500k to $40m+, from local, boutique agencies and large multinationals – all entering to prove that they most effectively executed an idea that worked.

For those who come out on top of Effie’s rigorous judging process, their achievement is marked not only by their trophies/certificates and public recognition of a job well done, but it is also marked here in the Effie Winners’ Showcase.”

Cuervo Games

It’s a little late in the game, but we’ve had the Cuervo Games going for quite some time now. This is a fully integrated campaign with a full touring Out of Home execution, as well as a supporting digital property.

The response has been fantastic and it’s been an awesome project to lead up the technology for. The technology includes the digital property, a full registration and moderation system, a Digital LED leader board with full admin control and a full on-site registration system.

A new start…

Christian — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:29:09 +0000

With so much going on in work and life, I find myself not doing a whole lot to keep my “presence” up to date. In an effort to turn over a new leaf and start focusing a bit more on the things I do, and the things I love, I decided to start using a simple blog format to keep things current.

I love where I live…
