Why YOUR COMPANY should be on Pinterest

Blippar

Blippar™ is the first image-recognition phone app aimed at bringing to life real-world newspapers, magazines, products and posters with exciting augmented reality experiences and instantaneous content.  The company launched in the UK in the Summer of 2011 and will be expanding globally throughout 2012. 


Asos Magazine March edition utilised the blippar platform to add an interactive layer to their editorial pages allowing users to 'blipp' items of clothing and see them from all angles with a 'one-click' buy mechanic. Users were also given access to exclusive video content.


Blippar has helped Mercedes-Benz create the world’s first ever augmented reality advertising campaign in car showrooms as part of the ‘Escape The Map’ campaign. The TV ad for the campaign was launched during the weekend, following character Marie as she becomes trapped in her C63 AMG Coupé car in a version of Streetview.

CC Skydive Team

So the long awaited Skydive session happened on the 3rd of May. This was a company incentive that was held at the end of the team building outing we did the previous year!

Dale Ashwell, Mohammed Al Fahel, Claire Brimacombe, Raji Joy John, Mario Christopher, Jude Christopher

The Skydive Dubai staff were very professional in getting us up to speed on the do's and don'ts of skydiving. Before too long we were almost super human. The experience was literally out of this world! Some of us will be doing it again for sure!!

Mario Christopher with Skydive Master Freddy doing a tandem dive with the Palm Jumeirah in the background.

The view from up there is simply breath taking. The Palm Jumeirah, the Marina, JBR and all the supporting buildings seemed so irrelevant from 10,000 ft above. The sound that silence makes, or the lack of sound itself was another amazing experience!

Look & Feel

So yes we do have a new look and feel . . . . something that reflects the website. And for the blog followers, below  is a sneak peak of what the new site looks like . . . . have a closer look a few things have been added :)

Budweiser @ The Underground Pub, Dubai.

If you are at The Underground Pub, Habtoor Grand around JBR in Dubai, then walk towards the end of the pub, past the bar and towards the pool tables. Turn to the left and stare at the wall, and there it is, the Budweiser wall branding.

This was commissioned by Sirocco, the client handling the Budweiser brand in the UAE. The Underground Pub is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the football and rugby games, and specially if you are a Liverpool fan, As it is their home pub in Dubai!

Make sure, you check out their menu too, the all day English Breakfast is a must have! With real PORK!! And make sure you chase it down with a Bud!

Cheers!!

The Two Monks: A Lesson On The Power Of The Question!

Two novice monks were walking in the garden and observing the older monks as they walked, meditated and smoked their pipes. The first novice turned to the second and asked, do you think it would be alright if we also smoked a pipe? The second novice bore witness to his own lack of knowledge and suggested that they should ask the senior monk. They both agreed that they would ask that evening.

The next morning the first novice came into the meditation garden and looking around he saw the second novice walking, meditating, and smoking a pipe. Excited with disbelief, the first monk ran unrestrained towards the second monk and when close enough expressed a declaration as much as a question, what are you doing? The second monk calmly replied, isn't it obvious! The first novice proceeded to assert, we said that we would ask the master! The second monk answered, yes and I did! The first monk responded, no!, you couldn't have for the master would have said no to you as he did to me!

Calmly the second novice inquired, what exactly did you ask the master? The first monk responded, I said, Master if I am in the garden meditating would it be alright if I smoke? Speaking in a voice full of criticism and judgment the first novice monk continued, and the Master told me, absolutely no! The second novice monk nodded his head in understanding and said, ah! when I questioned the master I said, Master, if I am in the garden smoking would it be alright if I meditate? And he said absolutely yes!

I guess its in the way you ask the question . . . . questions are not benign. The question and the structure of the question are not without their consequence. The road to wisdom is paved with questions! Only the correct questions asked in the proper manner can lead to the answers to the mysteries you may wish to understand and master.

How to integrate Blogger into Facebook
