Can't make SXSWi? Ogilvynotes.com has you covered

So if your way too busy this year to attend SXSW Interactive don't worry man Ogilvynotes has you covered and will be posting some of the best notes on all the juiciest interactive panels. Honestly you can't be everywhere all at once but Ogilvy has hired professional note takers and will be posting screens using tumblr. If you are live on site you can go to a gallery and actually pick-up some large prints. I guess you could call this active art? What's cool though if you are there you can share your notes/etchings for the world to see.

Create or Else mini artist documentary series

DEAR CREATIVES: Ok finally I am able to shout it out loud but I'll let Lars Bastholm, Ogilvy's CCO invite you and give you the skinny on the project that has been consuming me for the past couple months. About every week we will feature a mini documentary on Artists and folks who do cool things. Go ahead and subscribe to Create Or Else on youtube Ogilvy's channel where you might find things inspirational.

First couple of Featured Artist's are Suran Song(a Multi-media performance Artist) and Nathan Sawaya (who makes sculptures out of Legos. Both go into the challenges of making art from within.



I hope you enjoy and tune into the series every week. Oh and the good news you too have the opportunity to be featured on Create or Else. For more info on how to contact, what to do to get in touch with the curators and editors from the video content channel go here. Looking forward in seeing what you got or if you want to suggest something somebody does that is interesting and motivational.

Mobile Experience in Times Square

So it's been a long month but finally able to share my latest experiential project. Make this a destination kind of thing for the Holidays into the New Year in your travel or experience it virtually the Kodak Times Square Smile Gallery @ 46th street in front of the Marriot Marquee on the Earth Cam.

Here is how to do it:
1) Send your photo to kodak@aerva.com with a short caption in the subject line.
2) Then give it 24-48hrs so Kodak can approve.
3) Once they do you will receive a approval email with a short.
4) You can then trigger your image up to the board up to six times. The picture will also display randomly in-between the adverts. Get your 15 seconds of fame now!

I hope to post a case study in 2010. Lots of other neat stuff in the works.

Enjoy.

UPDATE: 1.4.10
Almost a 1,000 (991)tweets from this mashable post and by the time the ball dropped on New Year's the board received over 1,000 photo submissions. That's just about a 1-1 ratio! How's that for Social networking power?
