Philadelphia Tax Amnesty – Website and Online Media Campaign

Dave — Sun, 30 May 2010 19:03:33 +0000

Summary: Develop the online components of a full media campaign for the Philadelphia Tax Amnesty program. The website was designed to integrate the already developed brand system and create an engaging & informative web experience to promote program details as well as sign-up users into the program. In addition to the website, online banners were created in 2 waves. The first wave was in released prior to the program launch and provided basics about the program and it’s key beginning and ending dates. The second wave of banners went live on the program’s launch date and had an actionscript countdown clock alerting the user to how many days were remaining in the program. Additionally, for the street-crew promotions staff, a fully animated placard was created with a countdown clock that showed the Days, Hours, Minutes and seconds remaining in the program.

The future of “Print”?

Wow. Talk about deep content. This little visualization of what Sports Illustrated could turn into on is completely “Game ON!” (sorry, had to do it) This is exactly the type of thing that has so many people excited about the prospect of some sort of Apple “Tablet”. Really nice work Time, Inc. and WonderFactory!

But I tell you this… to create a magazine like this would be no small endeavor. To have content that runs this deep would require a whole lot of people working real hard, probably around the clock. But imagine if Wired magazine were like this? Or how about US News and World Report? Or maybe online news magazines? Like the Huffington Post?

Cool Animation – Anchored

The music is a bit dramatic, but the rendering style is gorgeous.

Time for Bed Game – Flash Interactive

Summary: Teach children how much sleep they need in a fun and engaging way. (What kids haven’t been preached to on this topic by parents or other adults when bed time rolls around?) Animals are a proven hook for our target age group of 5- to 10-year-old boys and girls. We used illustration, animation, funny voice talent and interactivity to engage the audience. Actionscripting was used to keep score during the games 10 question screens, with a congratulations at the end that loops the user back in for another try or sends them off for additional reading material. Overall, and very popular and successful interactive piece for KidsHealth.org. So much so that it was also featured in GD USA Magazine’s 2005 annual.
