Piano stairs – TheFunTheory.com – Rolighetsteorin.se

A cool way to motivate people to take the stairs more often… and – once more – as you can see: PLAY WORKS! It can actually change human behavior in so many ways as I have tried to show you on this weblog the past two years. Wether it be advisors at a bank, consumers to buy stuff or a whole logistic chain to be convinced that working together improves their business…

I actually did a concept like this stairs with students from HkU (School of Arts in Hillywood) where I helped them to record the sounds of a stairs that sounded like walking through a puddle of water. The installation was displayed in a museum in 2010.

BrandNewGame presentation: Digital Interactive Branding

>I have updated my earlier presentation about building brands in the digital era.
It is based on five years of research and reading books about strategic branding and management of organizations that grew from good to great (Jim Collins).

Other books I took inspiration from are The Tipping Point, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Conversation Management, Conversational Capital, Free, Authenticity, The Experience Economy and loads of TED talks and research from Distimo, Nielsen, TNS Nipo, trend reports (Science of the Times, Most Contagious 2010, Forrester) and many, many more web-based intelligence.

I have compiled all the information into 5 Brand Objectives that each Brand and Organization should follow to become (or remain) successful in the Digital Era.

The presentation also includes my vision on the internet (forget offline and online, below the line or above the line!).

The third part of the presentation includes the CoCha-model about which I have been presenting a lot in 2010. I have changed ‘Consumer’ into ‘Communities’ since we are all more and more influenced by what we do on digital communities (social media) and influence all our party-members as we share what we think is cool, relevant or an exceptional product.

Let me know what you think!

Pritt Stick | Knutselwereld – Best Dutch advergame 2010

>

Yesterday I visited ‘Game in the City’ in Amersfoort (The Netherlands). I held a short presentation in the morning how games can be used as a marketing tool and after my presentation there where three case presentations by Flavour, Real & Soepel and Achtung!
During the day there where various presentations about games, serious games (I hate that term), social games (that one as well) and a lot of companies presentation their cool innovative products.
In the evening there was a dinner organized by Control-Online (sponsored by ABN AMRO) when the Dutch Game Awards were presented.
Little Chicken won the prize for best advergame. I also described this case in my book. It’s really a fantastic gameconcept and well executed.
Below you will find another short impression of the award ceremony.
