Guess who’s going to Kettle of Fish for dinner tomorrow? You guessed it, me! Well, at the time of this writing, me and 259 other tech savvy people. It’s all part of the buzz that’s surrounding the launch of Groupon in Vancouver earlier today. Groupon is a Chicago based website that negotiates discount deals that they can bring to a huge list of followers subscribing to the site via Groupon’s daily newsletter.
Youtube users freaking out over the new iPhone 4G
Think about it. The story that’s still unfolding, even as I write this, has it all. Espionage (iPhone’s crazy security measures), romance (brand love on the part of the maniacs eating this stuff up), danger (dude might lose his job), disguises (3g disguised as 4g), and now, EXOTIC DESTINATIONS.
It’s late April, summer approaches, the sun is shining, and it’s Friday. What better way then to share a success story with you here at Engine Digital! We’re proud and honored to announce the appointment of Laura Mason to the role of Junior Information Architect.
Laura started out here as an intern and quickly meshed with the rest of the studio while delivering such solid work that we just couldn’t let her go. Let that be a lesson to the rest of you interns out there. They’re not all thankless jobs of fetching coffee and dry cleaning.
Laura just found out this morning so she didn’t have time to make a video documenting her rise to Information Architecture infamy. So, instead, we bring you another intern success story from the Wes Anderson film, Life Aquatic. Which, is a little bit like working at Engine Digital. Lots of talent, and lots of love, on a boat? Ok, that’s a bit of a stretch, but regardless, welcome Laura and good luck!
Applied Arts, ‘Canada’s Visual Communications Magazine’ published their 2009/2010 Interactive Awards today and Engine Digital once again made the cut!
See what won after the jump.
There’s a lot of debate over Flash relevance lately, with Apple making a big statement by excluding the ubiquitous platform from its iPad, iPod, and iPhone devices. But the demand from marketers (and consumers), as noted in the recent SoDA Digital Marketing Outlook report, says otherwise.
We say meh! Flash is here to stay. So we’re building up our Flash team with the recent addition of Senior Flash Developer, Daniel Butler, straight from London’s Agency Republic where he held the title Creative Technologist, working for a wide range of clients including Mercedes-Benz, PlayStation, O2, BBC, MTV, Green & Black’s, The UK Government, and EA Games. His work has been widely recognized by global advertising award shows where he’s taken home honors including a Bronze Cannes Cyber Lion, Webby, FWA, and D&AD yellow pencil.
Daniel brings a solid ability for developing smart efficient ActionScript while keeping an eye on process. At Engine Digital he’ll work in both of these areas, while working with the creative team to build smart brand engagements and branded utility. Leading our Flash dev team, he’ll build efficiencies while leveraging new and emerging technology. We’re just happy to have another cool accent in the studio.
