What a great start to the year! We’ve only gone and won ourselves an ANNA award!

aa

The ANNA’s are a relatively new award, put together by those lovely people at the Newspaper Marketing Agency. Our campaign, ‘Forget Everything You Know About Flying‘ for Air New Zealand picked up the award for ‘Best Digital Campaign’.

A huge thanks to the Albionites (you know who you are) who worked so hard on this project and an even bigger thanks to our client, Air New Zealand for being so great to work with.

Well done everyone!

Great news for client GLL

Seven years ago the leisure trust GLL helped to organise tens of thousands of signatures to ‘Back the Bid’. Since that moment they have been working hard to be the organisation to operate the Olympic Park after the London 2012 Games have finished.  Last week it was officially announced that they have won the contract to run two Olympic venues: Aquatics Centre and the Multi-Use Arena.

GLL signed a 10 year contract with the Olympic Park Legacy Company after beating the private providers Serco and Parkwood Leisure.

GLL is a charitable social enterprise, so will be reinvesting the profits to provide training, jobs and top quality leisure facilities at affordable prices and will help and improve communities through the services they offer. With this great Olympic task GLL will contribute to ensuring that we have a meaningful and sustainable Legacy into London for years to come. Can’t say fairer than that!

Here at the good ship Albion, we are chuffed to bits for everyone at GLL and would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them with this amazing news and wish them all the best of luck!

Tonight is a big night for Team Albion. Tonight, for one night only, we’ll see OK Go live streaming a pop up show from Brazil through #shotcast.

All week OK Go have been popping up around Brazil playing pop up shows for Cuervo whilst those of us not actually in Brazil have been putting ourselves in classic OK Go videos using #shotcast.

So what’s #shotcast? It’s a sweet piece of tech that we developed that allows fans to insert their ‘social selves’ into one of the band’s music videos. Using their Facebook or Twitter profiles, fans can then place th profile picture into a special live performance which will be created dynamically from the images and broadcast at CuervoCold.com. It’s a simple as tweeting a hashtag (#shotcast) or signing in to Facebook Connect.

Actually we’ve got a quick video of Damian from OK Go explaining how it works – and since he worked with Google on their Chrome project he gets these kind of things.

So today at 4pm (LA) 6pm (NY) 9pm (Brazil) and 11pm (UK) fans will be able to have their avatar create a unique online video experience.

Things are getting spooky over in LA – Team West Coast have been working night and day to launch a new mobile web app which allows trick or treaters to identify where the best areas are for trick or treating in local communities.

Twick or Tweat developed in partnership with Kluge, uses pins on top of Google maps to show good and bad trick or treat zones in real time. The data gathered will be used by Albion Cell, Albion’s data division, to help brands understand how they can maximize missed opportunities.

Tim Bateman, Creative Director at Albion West Coast said “As newcomers to Los Angeles, we’ve noticed communities can seem pretty spread out and a little daunting to navigate. Technology can bring communities closer, making neighbors out of neighbourhoods, and towns out of urban anonymity.”

The more flags the app collects, the more of a tool it becomes. For time-starved parents, this app can help them create the best Halloween experience for their kids by going to the right places – this year and next year.

Arturo Perez, founder of Kluge, said “We’ve loved building this app because of its minimalistic approach. It’s so very simple, yet there is such richness in all of the data that it can gather. It’s precisely what gets us excited about the current social landscape.”

Happy Twick or Tweating!
