Big Ideas (don't get any)

Big Ideas (don't get any) from James Houston on Vimeo.

 
  

Here is a little gem I just discovered via threeminds and that illustrates how creativity and talent can transform a challenge into a master piece. This short film is the work of James Houston, a student of the Glasgow School of Art who decided, for his final project, to respond to the online challenge launched by the Radiohead. The band proposed on a dedicated site a contest to remix their latest single "Nude". Here is what James did out of it. Although he was too late to enter his work within the deadline, I think he deserves a big huge online wave of applause from all of us.

Here is how James describes his quest on Vimeo :

"I've just graduated from the Glasgow School of Art's graphic design course. This was my final project.

Radiohead held an online contest to remix "Nude" from their album - "In Rainbows" This was quite a difficult task for everybody that entered, as Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm. Most music that's played in clubs is around 120bpm and usually 4/4 timing. It's pretty difficult to seamlessly mix a waltz beat into a DJ set.

This resulted in lots of generic entries consisting of a typical 4/4 beat, but with arbitrary clips from "Nude" thrown in so that they qualified for the contest.

Thom Yorke joked at the ridiculousness of it in an interview for NPR radio, hinting that they set the competition to find out how people would approach such a challenging task. I decided to take the piss a bit, as the contest seemed to be in that spirit. Based on the lyric (and alternate title) "Big Ideas: Don't get any" I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they're trying their best to do something that they're not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there.

It doesn't sound great, as it's not supposed to.

I missed the contest deadline, so I'm offering it here for you to enjoy.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Guitars (rhythm & lead)
Epson LX-81 Dot Matrix Printer - Drums
HP Scanjet 3c - Bass GuitarHard
Drive array - Act as a collection of bad speakers - Vocals & FX"

PS : And I'm really wondering what my friend Tom (DirectorTom Thomas Clifford) will think about this film. ; )

  

UPDATE :

Check this film James did as he mentioned it to be his "...first ever project working with live action video". Wow! Definitely worth being pointed here as well. Read the comments on Vimeo and find out how he did it!

Dear marketers, are YOU... LISTENING ?

Originally uploaded by coconinoco

Today I came across a few convergent posts around the idea that "some" marketers are still not in phase with what's going on with their interconnected, web-surfing consumers' online life.
   

The first is an article published by our friend Alan Wolk (...aka Tangerine Toad from the Toad Stool) and published on AdAge: "You Are Not My Friend". Alan describes in his text how people going on Social Media platforms like Facebook or Twitter, go there to interact with their friends and NOT with brands. He says that there are indeed exception brands that are tolerated there because they are seen as the "prom king brands"; cool icons one would proudly refer to. A brand trying to engage conversation via social networks should do it with one keyword in focus : AUTHENTICITY. So instead of pretending to be a friend -as a brand- create an honest communication frequency based on the brand's real values (not built-up or dreamt about values, because there is simply no way fooling people that way). Talk as a salesperson to your target group and propose  honest and relevant added value to their experience with your brand. Lead them to your site to share your message with them, not to a social network platform.

   

The second post that did hit my attention was Katie Chatfield's brilliant shout "Get it right - Dammit!" on her blog Get Shouty. Here Katie related the story of a brand who "created" an empty online community shell and pitched the 100 top women bloggers of Australia to come there and contribute with stories, thoughts and advices... with in return a link back to their blogs. Targeted bloggers' responses were immediate and stroke like thunder. In her post, Katie also points to Joseph Jaffe, author of the books "Life After the 30-second TV Spot" and "Join the Conversation", blogger at Jaffe Juice -ranked 26 in the AdAge Top 150 Best Marketing blogs- and President & Chief Interruptor of Crayon, a new marketing company. Now, have a look at the speech he held at the recent Association of National Advertisers’ Integrated Marketing Conference, slamming 5 big brands for making big mistakes. It's a MUST SEE for the curious marketers who haven't already!  NB: Now, I apologize for taking you to AdAge VIDEO (I couldn't find the video anywhere else,  exclusive content, right!) to let you see this film AND forcing you to view a 10-sec. AD before reaching Joseph's speech... but hey... the message is definitely worth it. - Oh boy... don't we live in a world of paradoxes! ; )

The third is a post from Scott Monty : "Think Banner Ads are Effective?" -Geee... he's from Crayon too!- sharing a little fun video  named Man vs Banners Ads. Now, if banners are indeed completely trackable and measurable, let's not forget about appropriate targeting and relevant content.  Again...  it's not about fooling people, it's about giving them an honest opportunity to access relevant information about your brand.

Convinced and ready to LISTEN? If so, Chris Brogan in his blog Community and Social Media wrote a fantastic post that will certainly help you : "Five Tools I use for Listening". A simple first step into the right direction. Do you have other suggestions or "ways to listen" to share?

PS : Little out-of-the-box thingy to share with you here : the headphones pictured above by coconinoco are Grado Labs SR-80. Now these are the best -affordable- piece of audio equipment I could ever recommend if you are into music listening. They change the music you thought you were listening to into a complete re-discovery of the sound vibes - even with an MP3 player. Delightful! - And NO I'm not payed by Grado for this little post scriptum, I'm just sharing my happy customer POV. ; )

   

United PEAS of Social Media

- Original picture from Addixon777 + home made transformation -

   

The amazing thing about "social media" is the power that these two words joined together took over the meaning of each word when standing alone.

"Social" is the grouping of individuals around common characteristics, interactions between groups of people, is taking consideration of other's behavior. Many more definitions apply to that word, but in a way the "united humans" side of the definition is probably the one we keep in mind. And here comes "media" basically related to communication and being the vehicle of messages towards as many people as possible, not to say "masses".

Now "social media" pushes us from being readers and spectators of news and information, to being actors and publishers of messages through a completely new vehicle. And we may see "the wisdom of the crowds" as the evolution of individual messages freely embraced by other individuals.

The very first time I understood the power of "social media" was after Noel Davis' terrible bicycle accident just before Christmas 2007. Noel is the father in law of Gavin Heaton, a blogger friend I had met on the net months before. At the time, I didn't know Noel but I was warned by another friend blogger CK that "something terrible" happened. Gavin communicated to friends and family on Noel's web page and a solidarity chain was raised by other bloggers relaying the information and collecting funds to help. Cam Beck created a special page to make donations, David Armano made a visual for the cause, many helped making posts to spread the information. Hopefully, Noel recovered from his accident and I'm quite sure many people still think about him today.

Then, another terrible event tore many of us apart when our friend CK was facing the toughest moment of her life. This difficult moment, brought to our eyes the important fact that there is a link between this virtual world, our emotions, values, good intentions and reality.

More recently, Susan Reynolds a blogger I don't know personally, discovered that she had breast cancer. As a matter of fact, Susan suffered so much from the multiple biopsies she went through that she placed a pack of frozen peas on her breast to relieve the pain. She decided to share her experience with others and launched a special blog : Boobs on Ice. When she posted a picture of her and the pack of peas in such an unexpected place, some of her friends were touched and reacted. In less time than it takes to actually say it many people took action (see the full story on Connie Reece's blog) and a solidarity wave rolled around the planet.

Then a special Frozen Pea Fund was launched to raise money with all benefits going to Making Strides, the breast cancer campaign of the American Cancer Society. Now what if we would all donate the price of a package of Peas to such a fund raising program? Hundreds of Twitter users changed their avatars on a Pea theme. When I see the specially created Frozen Pea Flickr group, I really beleive that there are PEAple out there ready to help change the world.

Today is the THIRD PEA FRIDAY... so if you have not done it yet, go to this link and donate the value of a few peas (or more), because this action is good and is helping an important cause we should all care about. I am sure Susan was happy to see that many were there to encourage her and try to help. Also, I'd like to honor people who lead others in the right direction, to help those in need. Connie, this one is for you -sorry it took me so long to make this post-. Even if we have not met yet, please know that it is a real honor to know you. I am amazed by the mountains you are moving.

I understand that social media is not done shaking positively my vision of this world. These incredible examples raise the definitions to another level. So, whoever still thinks "social media" is yet another trendy notion to debate on, might want to consider this : next time you are watching PEAple from a distance, watch closely and listen... maybe you'll find out that the voice behind each one of them is worth some of your attention. Above definitions, there are people behind all this, connected and sharing experiences. Internet is just a vehicle, let's keep in mind that human beings are on both sides with their hearts and values.

      

The graduate call

   

Here is a fun and very well edited video shot in the JWT London offices.  No wonder why it is the post of the day on Craig Davis' blog, The Good Stuff. Once again, apparently -like on the previous OMB mentioned on mindblob-, no money or big production, just a bunch of motivated grads led by Musa Tariq. His description of the video on Vimeo says it all :

"We (the graduates who joined last year straight out of uni) had an idea one day after work... and thought why not!"

Also, check this other film from Musa Tariq on his Vimeo page, entitled: "A Day In The Life Of Me". Here is what he says about it :

"I was asked recently what the highs and lows of my job were at JWT... Well one of the highs was the fact that if you ever had an opinion or a suggestion, people would ask you to go do it! The following video was part of an idea we had, it was to show a client how someone my age interacts with technology on a day to day basis! ..."

Basically, I like to see positive energy leading a simple idea into reality. It spreads that same positive energy outside the office walls and is insightful for whoever is "listening". Well, of course, the goal here is obviously to recruit new grads. The last first dot to connect to is JWT London's website frontpage (*) where  the intention appears loud and clear.

Maybe our good friend Sacrum should try to apply there.
; )

   

PS :  (*) this link will probably not be relevant to this post after november 7th - end of the call for grads.

Idea saves planet

 

Our planet is in danger, we all know it. Even if we all agree about that "fact", what can we do as individuals to help or influence a positive change? The PICNIC Green Challenge is launching a contest to help fight climate change. They challenge creative thinkers and innovators, to come up with an original idea for a product or service that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

 

 

   

They also require from the participants that they present a concrete plan of action to launch their idea within 2 years. The price/help to market the idea is 500.000 Euros, coaching from business leaders and a list of potential clients. The president of the jury is fantastic-Richard Branson, entrepreneur incroyable, chairman of the Virgin Group and the Galactic space project. "This contest is going to help people to realize how much they are capable of,” he says. “Great things really do come out of simple ideas.”.

   

 

Richard Branson together with former vice President Al Gore are also behind a wider project -launched in February 2007- linked to the reduction of the greenhouse effect, the Virgin Earth Challenge. Contest will award $25 million to the individual or group who are able to demonstrate a commercially viable design which will result in the net removal of anthropogenic, atmospheric greenhouse gases each year for at least ten years without countervailing harmful effects. This removal must have long term effects and contribute materially to the stability of the Earth’s climate. See them on the CBS "Eye-to-eye" TV show here, talking about the reason why of the project.

 

I take a moment here to point the axis we discussed in the previous post. It seems that more and more companies develop green policies to link their businesses to positive intentions for the planet. Well, if the intentions are shared, supported, and driven into reality, then some positive actions could (really) follow. But, at this stage thinking about this process, it appears to me to be more like a talent search/call, than a real collaborative work using the brain/linking power of the internet. Food for thoughts (yeah, again!) - (to be continued...)

 

   SHARED IDEA(S) - DRIVER-  POSITIVE ACTION

 

Do you have an idea that could help?

 

The AOC's impact on REALITY

   

One of the reasons that lead me to blogging, is my will to study the journey of ideas from brains to reality. I think the making of the Age of Conversation ebook is indeed a first in its own genre and so is worth a post documenting what happens to be a quite interesting and unique process. I tried to make a visual to illustrate the passage(s) between the world of ideas (imagination, virtual) and reality.

Let’s use the metaphor of a simple drop of water to symbolize the original idea Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton raised together. Now, the first transformation (the proposition) is important and grew through a limited network of connections. Thinking about it rationally we may say the initial situation is : “2 bloggers, each one of them with a small network  -small, as compared to the wider net- of blog readers, who see them as authentic and respectful bloggers.

   

   

The idea is embraced, followed and lifted up by that small network, making them all instantly what one could call a community. That community shares something in common around the original idea and its projection into reality. Why? Because it is impossible not to (did you ever think about that?). Rationally again : it is a WIN-WIN-WIN situation (...and we could eventually find even more Wins). Who wins? Everyone does!

- W1 : a good cause gets the benefits
- W2 : authors helping W1 and being part of the project
- W3 : readers contributing to W1 and getting great content.

Book is then “published” and gets a first opportunity to reach reality. Two keys are not dissociable and make the book’s positionning special :

- A good intention with VALUABLE CONTENT.
- Immediate, REAL BENEFITS to charity.

After writing their chapter, the 100 authors use their own small networks of blog readers to spread the news about the book. Networks of networks embrace the idea and it spreads the internet, lifting the impact on reality up at the same time. Book spreads the net, spreads its content, and the benefits to Variety the Children’s Charity grow at the same time. The original small drop of idea-water is now a huge wave of positive emulation.

Now... I don’t think this is a one-shot example. Even if Gavin and Drew (once again: thank you for launching this guys) confessed that they never imagined the size this “drop of water” would take, I believe this process is now serious FOOD FOR THOUGHTS. I think more projects could help bring more good values into reality, giving people the opportunity to do good for other people who need it. If the first step of the Age of Conversation is "linking us all around good values"... the second step might be finding paths for positive ideas to reach reality and generate good "REAL" POSITIVE ACTIONS.

Dream? Utopia? ... or reality?
What's your take on this?

   

PS: And by the way, if you read this and have not bought a copy of the book yet... just do it! You won’t regret it.  : )

   

Is viral marketing dead already?

Illustration originally uploaded by Camilla E

 

Dominique Poncin strategic planner at Boondoggle raises interesting thinking on his post "Viral Marketing proclaimed dead (again)". He refers to an article in Advertising Age covering a review of Columbia University sociology professor Duncan Watts. Great food for thoughts there. Here is an extract of his view on that matter :

   

"The traditional view on viral marketing recommends the use of shocking or absurd humour but there is so much more ; for example by adding a utility factor, by being culturally relevant or by plainly creating a context that stimulates discussion among consumers."

   

I must say that I couldn't agree more. Still too many consider "viral" as (mass) push communication, when (again!) it is all about conversation.

How do you see the next evolutions of "Viral Marketing"?

   

8 Random things

Last week, I was tagged twice by the “8 random things about me” meme. Lewis Green was the first to hook me with the love link and David Reich did it too a few days later. Thank you (for your patience) guys... Ok then, here you go :

 

1. - The agency I work for once organized corporate “Highland games” in Scotland. Most of the challenges were adapted for team spirit/team building. One of them was throwing a Haggis (typical Scottish sausage) on a long distance (about 100 feet) with a bottle of exquisite whisky as target (you hit it, you get it). You get 3 shots to try. Guess what, I did it... and got the bottle : twice in a row! Well... motivation I guess.

2. - Ever seen parachutes pulled by offshore boats? Well while trying that thing, I made a free fall of about 80 feet, when the boat tried to turn into a too strong winds. Hopefully fell into the water. I was OK, but the shock blew my helmet away.

3. - Feel connected to Garfield : I just LOVE Lasagna (fresh home made ones, of course!). “Hi Mom... would you please consider this as a special request from your son?” – Sorry I had to have this personal message here - ; )

4. - After travelling 7 years through space, in 2004, my signature landed on the Moon... Titan. It was on the CD-ROM traveling with ESA's Cassini-Huygens.

5. - When I was student a friend and I were radio animators for a small local radio. The audience was so low that we asked friends to call us for live quiz games. The prices to win were a bottles of strawberry milk (please don’t laugh, this is true!). We got kicked out after broadcasting an advertising experiment: “a one minute of pure white –understand complete silence- sponsored by a fake brand of washing powder”.

6. – I named my company after seing this movie. From a creative point of view, I thought going to the Moon was a fantastic challenge. Loved the idea that one day a man said "...what if we bring a buggy there... and drive it?".

Company name : Moon Buggy.
Motto: "Drive your dreams".

7. – I often listen to film soundtracks. I enjoy letting my imagination dive into their moods and surf the images they inspire. Favorites are from Lalo Schifrin, John Barry, John Williams, Henry Mancini, Michel Magne, Umebayashi Shigeru, etc.

8. – In summer time I ride an electric skateboard. 1 HP (horsepower), speed up to 35 km/h (22 mph) on a maximum distance of 16 km (10 miles). A lot of fun when riding uphill and passing bikes by (... ok, ok, I know I wouldn’t make it with you Tim).  ; )

 

Did you ever have the feeling that there were blogs you missed for a reason or another and would like to read on a more regular basis? Well, this is the message of my tagging meme, since many of you have already been tagged. Here is my “8 stars list” : Caroline Maerten, Kris Hoet, Philippe Deltenre, Pieter Ardinois, Arun Rajagopal, Ryan Karpeles, Matt Dickman, Mark Goren.

 

NYC walk on the Whack side

 

As you could read on my last post, my journey to New York was a “first”. The main idea was to “be there for CK’s Momma tree”. So this trip was planned short and compact... leaving me 2 days on location (just assuming that it would be just enough to cope with the jet lag – well, not really as you can imagine!).

Being in New York one day before the meeting, there was something I had in mind and didn’t want to miss: getting one of Roger von Oech’s Ball of Whacks. Believe me or not, I was curious about this object ever since I saw it on Roger’s blog. I had been trying to get one from Belgium and just couldn’t find the right site to order it from at the time (Sigh! I notice now that they are for sale, and apparently worldwide, on Roger's Creative Whacks Company site). And by the way, I strongly encourage you to read Roger's blog. It is full of creativity insights, ideas, brain food and also links to very nice people.

 

Anyway, here is my story... finding this exclusive item in New York city. To make sure I wouldn’t get lost between distances, taxi and timings, I prepared my day trip on Google Earth (perfect tool for NYC, plus viewing paths in 3D is both cool and useful for a visual mind like mine). All I needed was a store address where to find one for sure. At that stage, I made it simple... turned Skype “on” and called Roger himself (we know each other from blogging and exchanging mails every once in a while).

You see Roger was also involved in CK's Momma tree project, so he knew I was in New York for the event. This said, I understand I might have surprised him a bit calling to have a store address. Nevertheless, Roger was "there" on the phone and it was very nice talking to him for the first time (I’d love to do it to chat about another creative topic too, though!). Roger gently emailed me 2 addresses where I should be able to find the Holy Grail... woops... I mean, the Ball of Whacks (BoW) : FAO Schwarz and The MoMA Design Store.

 

At the end of a long shopping list day (family goodies list always comes first, right!)... there was one item left -guess what!- and a few minutes before stores close. See what I mean? Feet on fire, but I made it just on time to FAO Schwarz. I fly in...  (“Hi guards!... What? Guards? Ok, guards...”) and start scanning the store, speeding through the alleys. No BoW in sight. Suddenly something happened, don’t ask me why. My mind just... zapped (you see, like when reading a book and without notice, your mind flashes out of it to create another side story):

Back to normal speed. I just realized that I was not focusing on target and that I was running out of time. Let’s go ask the concierge :

 

- Him :     “Haaa! That thing? Yeah... we had plenty just a few days ago, then something happened... and... woosh!... ALL GONE!”

– Me :     “Errrr... may I ask you what happened?”

- Him :     “Sure... See, we ran out of Rubik’s cube and were looking for a good replacement in the central shelf and thought about that Ball of Whack –not to say the BoW should have never been displayed there- Then we thought it would be good to have a demonstrator there to show what could be done out of that thing.”

- Me :     “Excellent, and then...?”

- Him :     “That’s when people went crazy... When they saw a squirrel, a sun, a frog, and all the possible combinations... they started to buy them by packs of 3. They were like: ‘And take two more for your brothers’... kinda thing, see wat I mean? Within a few hours we were sold out. Geeee... I’m sorry Sir, there isn’t ONE left”.

 

I was happy to hear such a great “sale” story and to bring it back to Roger... but a bit disappointed not to find a least one left. Hopefully after checking with the concierge, I realized that I was not too far away from the MoMA and so continued my quest in that direction. Outside the store (“Bye Guards!”)... I saw a yellow tricycle parked in front of FAO. The guy sitting on it seemed to be very expressive and was laughing with a friend cyclist. So I thought I’d just double check the way  to the MoMA with him. My simple question seemed to be like an MIT clue to him. He started to talk in Turkish with his friend who obviously was giving him the directions (4-5 blocks away!). He was so nice trying to translate the information to me in English –I mean with a wonderful accent and smile- that I decided to ask him to give me a ride there.

He turned a ghetto blaster on (hidden under passenger seat) and started to paddle full throttle. As we were ridding our 150 decibels of Latino hip hop RnB around 5th, I realized we were not just playing music... there was also the video clip, right between my feet, on an LCD screen ! ! ! (...found that clip on YouTube : "Jagged Edge ft Voltio: she SO amazing") - Amazing New York city indeed! (check it out).

 

   

End of the ride... MoMA Design Store. Open doors... eyes scanner “on”. Left, right, left... “Meep!”... found it: “The Ball of Whacks”! Yeeehaaa! Music, please!

Okay, this story is indeed a little “off the road”. Off regular posts maybe. But I thought I would bring it back to Roger, because I never imagined that on my simple quest to get a red rhombic triacontahedron, I would go through : Google Earth, Skype, FAO guards, giant candies, giant pianos, super-heroes, magic eyes, concierge stories, Turkish tricycle ride, Latino hip hop RnB, MoMA design and innovative items. Since none of this would have happened without aiming to the Ball of Whacks, I want to say thank you Roger for this unexpected extra-ordinary journey! Of course, I’ll come back to the Ball of Whacks in another more dedicated post... In the meantime, my learnings through all this?

 

- Conversation leads to very nice discoveries,

- Product demonstration (still) helps sell products,

- One product might be bought for different reasons (hint, hint!),

- People buying make more people want to buy,

- Magic... may detour us from our most determined goals,

- Surprises may be found looking down (*).

 

Now, if you don’t have a Ball of Whacks, go get one right now...
And if you do, go get it, because this object is magic and if you can figure out how... it will reveal its hidden secret.

Any idea of what it is?   ; )

 

(*) PS : Maybe when we cross people in the streets who are looking down, it's because they are trying to find a surprise. Then maybe we can help them find it?

 

The Dawn of Shared Consciousness

   

Well, that’s it folks. All the writers (well almost depending on their time zone)  have sent their chapter to Gavin Heaton, co-publisher –together with Drew McLellan- of the already famous e-book: “The Age of Conversation”.

 

Now, for those of you who don’t know what this is about, you can track the genesis of this project here. The idea : 100 bloggers writing each 1 chapter of the book – 400 words limit. The fantastic thing about this project is probably that for once, the participating bloggers had to co-create in parallel, within the same timing. And when I see the list of names involved (see here under), I just can’t wait to read the visions regrouped in this book.

 

Of course at this stage, quite a few questions may tickle your mind... Although the topics were to be given in advance to avoid treating twice the same subject, from a very personal point of view, here is my take on it. There were no instructions over the content of the chapters –“where you take it is up to you...”, said Drew in his original post- but I’m sure there will be overlap between chapters, ideas, visions and stories. At this stage (before the book is published - BSP), I have the strong impression that it will be like a flow of ideas that are all inter-connected in a way. Not only by the generic title of the e-book. But by the “Shared Consciousness” of all the writers, that this is the “Dawn” of a new social communication era. The title of my chapter is : “The Dawn of Shared Consciousness” and it floats around evolution and revolution.

 

Time to write the sentence you’ve already seen on a few blogs now : “To know more about it, you’ll have to buy and read the e-book”. Thrilling, isn’t it? Let’s not forget that the e-book is dedicated to the memory of Sandra J. Kerley and that all proceeds from the sale will benefit Variety, the Children's Charity which helps and serves children across the entire globe.

 

Here is the updated list of writers, linking to great blogs as well :
