The Outside is In
To instill pride back into the alienated smoking set in the EU, we developed a cadre of activities and tools for the displaced smoker on the sidewalk. Flirtatious, social groups flocked outside of pubs even on the coldest winter nights. It was time to own the sidewalk— by celebrating the outside as in.

Music Unheard
A music web program launched in Switzerland during the Montreux Jazz festival. MP3 downloads from a pool of 120 artists hand-picked back from SXSW were available for download when a consumer entered a pack code. Consumers then had the ability to upload their own music tracks to be distributed and voted on socially on the MusicUnheard website. Pop-up listening lounges and kiosks at retail and clubs as well as mobile sites allowed consumers to stream and download tracks. The top three artist tracks submitted on the site were booked to play on the festival stage.

projectWIDES ARG
projectWIDES was an alternate reality game (ARG), seeded in Mexico City, to blur the line between brand and consumer interactions. Utilizing a SMS /call center/ to send mobile texts back and forth to participants— players were able to chat with five different 'personas' through web and mobile media, and follow them through the city through real events. WIDES created scripted scenarios which took place in real-time, and evolved according to participants' responses.
