A visualisation of the size of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico using google maps. Simple, powerful and very very scary indeed.

Green Party Election 2010 Campaign

admin — Thu, 13 May 2010 15:12:05 +0000

This is the Party Election broadcast from our 2010 UK Election campaign for the Green Party. The Green’s had never got an MP into parliament before. Our job was to help them break through. Our solution was a really tightly integrated and targeted campaign featuring billboards, personalised policy videos and a policy matchmaker application. Our head of innovation, Dom O’Brien has a brilliant overview of the campaign on his site.

Utterly brilliant. Real (although it’s just so hard to believe) blog from a guy who gave up being a financial advisor to ‘make it’ in Hollywood. Think David Brent times a million and you are not even close. Rocking…Kade style.

Two worlds collide

Jeremy Paxman interviews Dizzee Rascal about Barak Obama’s win. Brilliantly watchable. There will be loads of people saying Paxman is being patronising and he does ask an idiotic question in ‘do you consider yourself to be British’ but think ‘Mr Rascal’ comes across really well here.

James Kuhn face painting

Artist from America painted his face every day for a year.  Everything from cartoon characters, to vegetables, burgers and animals.  He says ‘I am an artist, drag queen, former nudist, born again Christian, average 46 year old guy’ but I’m not sure if there is anything ‘average’ about him.









Check out his Flickr stream here.

The guys who did the world famous original Bud ad update it for 2008 as an endorsement for Barak Obama.  Poignant and very well done.

Wake me up

The stickers have been about for ages but this video someone sent round just now, reminded me of them.


I prefer the stickers.  I mean, would you approach a guy wearing a mask like that?  Exactly.  I do think to increase the chance of someone feeling sorry for you and actually waking you up, it would be good to give a reason why you are sleeping.  For example, a sticker might read ‘New dad.  Haven’t slept for weeks.  Please wake me up at Shepherds Bush’.  That’d do it.
