2 Campaign Big Awards for Dare

Campaign Big Award
... and I kind of feel personally responsible for the one we got for the Dareschool 2008 project. To be honest I'm not that fussed with the film we made, as the Director of the film I was rather frustrated by the script and a lack of rehearsal time; however the award does deserve the work that we put into the final cut. We also picked one up for the Walkman Project, but alas Malkoviccch didn't get one; which was a little ironic as out of all three of the projects up for awards, the Script project was the one which really deserved to scoop a silver and (in my opinion) maybe a gold. Next time. In the meantime here's Steel again for one last word on what works and what doesn't online:

Blowing Lynx Blow into the winds of the Interweb


Today my work is dull but noteworthy in the books of rampant self-promotion, Ad-land rhetoric and western corruption of the Interweb.

I am a digital Utopian.

I Believe that the Interweb should be Advertisement Free.

I Work for a Company which makes Ads for the Interweb.

I am a self contradiction.

Hence I am in two minds about my task for the day: to populate message boards and listings sites with Lynx Blow "Seeds". Am I am the graffiti artist with nothing but a stale tag-line to scrawl? No; I do believe that Lynx Blow is something new, exciting.... I should do as I was one of the main driving forces behind its creation. I gave it digital direction, nurtured it like a little plant and was there every step of the way until it blossomed through a season of well executed teamwork into a summer of winter wonderland. Therefore I should be proud to scrawl its tagline - http://www.lynxblow.com on every bare wall I see in this macabre digital landscape... and in some ways I am. So here it is:

"Wow - check out this funky site, interesting, sexy and innovative."



http://www.lynxblow.com
- plug up your headphones to your computer and blow the girls bra off. A different way of interacting with a site; the mouse won't take you anywhere you need to blow.... like the wind... blow.... Is this a possible future model for Human Computer Interaction? I would like to think so.

Oh and here's a photo:
