Black tie week
The local Moss Bros has been busy this week thanks to DC. Tonight a whole load of the studio are guests of one of our lovely clients, Artemis, at the online finance awards where our work has been nominated. Last night we were out in force at the BIMAs.
Alas our two nominations, Artemis Fowl for […]
Grab your coat we’ve pooled
You’ve all heard the hype and the fighting talk, but now get that one step closer and follow the games in the DC Pool League. Big shout out to the Flash man himself, David Gordon, for organising the league and putting the micro-site together!
Sound Garden
Following on with the sound theme, a few of the DC Gang took a cultural trip to the Volume installation in the John Madejski Garden at the V&A last night. Absolutely stunning to see/hear with spooky chords whispering around mixed with beats and crazy LEDs of lush colour. The light and sound responds to movement […]
Soundbombing
A Sound Bomb works like this. Record a sound. Place the device somewhere. A person walks past, activates the motion sensor and hears the sound. Simple, low–tech and clever. You could record the sound of a howler monkey (the loudest land animal on earth) from Bolivia and place the Sound Bomb in a tree on […]
Addressable Advertising: The future is contextual
Ok, so us ‘digital‘ agencies have known it for ever. But it seems the grown-ups at the traditional agencies have started to see that the blunt instruments of TV and Radio spots can get clever with the right tech.
Picture this; you’re sat in front of the 32″ LCD that you can’t afford (I write from […]
We don’t do ‘web design’
This interesting post (and follow-up) by Oliver Reichenstein generated some discussion recently. Through his choice of title, Reichenstein shows himself to be a talented controversialist - and he earns extra brownie points for picking fights with usability gurus… His argument is that the traditional (print) discipline of typography - which in large part concerns what […]
It’s our business to deliver yours
Or so say TNT. Well, it’s this guy’s business to tool around the canals of one of the world’s most gorgeous cities in the courier’s equivalent of a Sunseeker 50. The only fly in the ointment? His arch nemesis, the FedEx guy, has a very similar looking boat, though it’s not quite as cool in […]
Open your eyes to Pollock
During our recent trip to Venice a surprising number of us managed to make it past the bars and as far as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.
Peggy Guggenheim was the grand-daughter of mining magnate Meyer Guggenheim, the Swiss patriarch of the phenomenally wealthy Guggenheim family. She was also the neice of Solomon Robert Guggenheim the famous […]
Visit Venice
When our CEO suggested taking the company to Venice for a few days it seemed like a good idea. It’s been a busy year, everyone’s put in a huge amount of effort so lets get together, get away from the office, go wild…. in Venice?
To be honest it seemed like a slightly strange choice. Not […]
The Osbournes meet DC
Strange, unusual, down right surreal. A couple of weeks ago our door bell went and two impersonators (Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne) arrived in our office with personal invites to a meal at Marcus Wareing’s restaurant, Petrus.
It was a PR stunt from NTT Communications, basically an ISP looking for partners. The dinner is on the same […]
