Bulmer's launches iphone app

There's still a tiny bit of British Summer left, and even better, it's a Bank holiday weekend so it's time to head to the nearest pub garden and soak it all in before the leaves turn brown and we all lock ourselves away in our homes for six months gazing longingly out of the window waiting for the big ball of orange burning gas to shows it's face again.

How does one find such a pub garden you may ask? The answer is simple - with this new app from Bulmers that uses Augmented Reality to guide you on your way. There's a nifty demo video here:



What's more it's free! You can search for 'Bulmers' at the app store or get it from itunes

Taking cinema to the next level

Secret Cinema is a cool concept - the secret part is that you don't know the movie and you only know the location two days before. I went along to one of the first Secret events a couple of year's back. In fact, if you look at this video at 1:16 is an interview with me:


With each year these events have become bigger and better. I kicked myself that I didn't go to the Alien screening at Haloween (although I think we were throwing our very own circus party that night so that would be why). Still, it looks amazing.







And the reason for this post. Well there's another one coming up - it's on the 3rd, 4th and 5th September and will see 5000 people each night watch the movie. Insane! You can find out more and get tickets at http://www.secretcinema.org

Facebook T shirts in a book

It's been a white since I've posted about Facebook T shirts. The mini business is still going - I sell a handful of T shirts each month. I'm not spending as much time on it as I used to as I build on my viral marketing business.

I'd like to spend a bit more time on my design work, but that's practically on hold at the moment while I focus on a little bit of deficit reduction - four years of study paying fees up front has taken it's toll on my bank balance. Anyhow, I digress....

The good news is that Facebook T shirts are now in a book called Never Use Pop Up Windows and 50 other Ridiculous web rules by Anneloes Van Gaalen. You can buy it from Amazon if you'd like

The Suso Master

The guys at SUSO have always claimed to be about more than just a fizzy juice drink. Their brand ideology, as presented on their website at www.suso.co.uk, shows us that when we harness our imagination, creativity and determination there is nothing we can’t do. Here are found tales of achievement in adversity - of people doing what many said couldn’t be done - a showcase and tribute to an attitude of NO CAN’T DO






This summer the SUSO Master will feature in a series of virals, short films and tutorials online and on digital Outdoor sites across the country. The aim is first to entertain and inspire and thereafter support through specific tutorials encouraging the development of aspirational skills in the field of music, sport, and the creative arts:





The campaign is amplified through social media allowing even more interaction with the character via Twitter and Facebook.

A-Team comes to iphone. What you wait'n for fool?

Here's a sweet new app for the iphone that I've been involved with. The A-Team Action Pack

You can relive those classic episodes or create your own over-the-top action sequences with vehicle sounds, catchphrases and motion activated weapon sound effects. If you need to see more check out this demo showing what you can do with it:


I personally think it’s best when you and a mate download it and lob grenades at each other across a room.

It's to promote the A-Team Series 1 release on itunes making it possible to watch vintage original A-team on your ipad, iphone and ipod touch!

Remember:
If you're in trouble, if you need an app, and if you can find it, you need the A-Team app!
