Campaign Microsite 2008

After the launch of the Passat R36, Volkswagen wanted to present their range of high performance cars.

To get around the restriction of not being able to show the cars driving in any way (to not encourage speeding) the users are taken on an audio journey through the site. Each car holds an imaginary drive, communicated through rich audio recordings and supporting visual effects. From the daily commute to picking up Chinese takeaway at night.

High traffic and comments on automotive and ad blogs around the world indicated the success.

The public relaunch at a german design conference in 2004 of the already established non-profit design portal and ezine LOUNGE72 was the start of the portals most successful period.

The hosting sponsorship through  Media Temple  allowed to have over 30 designers and journalist from around the world posted design related news and reviews through an advanced CMS to a lively community of over 6,500 users.

The free downloadable PDF Calendar with twelve world-renowned contemporary artists contributing each year and interviews with artist like  Stefan Sagmeister ,  Chuck Anderson  or  Joshua Davis  were truly unique.

In a very playful and interactive way the users had control over speed and direction of the video footage, so the drops of fresh water would just jump back onto the tomatoes.

Interactive Christmas Card 2007

The missed opportunity of sending out real cards to clients and friends was the start of this small project.

Since it is summertime in Australia around Christmas, creating the agency logo out of ice cubes was a great way to cool down. Everyone's signature on the close-ups when putting down a cube added a nice personal note. The defrosting of the fridge was a complete failure but luckily the cafe next door offered their ice-cream freezer to rescue the project.

Digital Launch Campaign 2007

The main objective of the launch of Volkswagens new Crafter, targeted at business and government organizations was to show its versatility.

To prove this, the vehicle was positioned in multiple 3D generated scenarios, such as a container yard, a petrol station and on the fore-field of an airport. Through non-sequential frame loading, each scene was accessible instantly and animations of a forklift and tyre change had a big impact on the overall experience.

Brand Campaign 2006

Facing the release of the movie Fast Food Nation, McDonald's wanted to dispel old myths like pig fat in milkshakes or high cholesterol in the oil.

A transparent and interactive behind-the-scenes walkthrough, guided by staff members started people thinking, rather than simply believing anything they hear.

As reactions to the campaign, the company distributing  Fast Food Nation  has even turned the film's website into a spoof of the original site and Australia's top satire show 'The Chasers' created their own version of the  TV ads .

Digital Launch Campaign 2006

The pure digital launch of Volkswagens most powerful Golf was a strategy that proved to be successful.

The Golf R32 was to be shown with its two sides. Users are able to explore the car's features through its graceful beauty side or swap to the dark, grumbling beast.

The attempt of recording the sound while accelerating trough  Sydney's CBD  at 2 am didn't turn out that well, but was definitely worth the ride.
