The Digital Pigeon.... cew (pigeon noise)

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this but it's a creative alternative to software like yousendit or sharefile.I know I will certainly be using it! Aside from the oversized, pixelated, 3D pigeon (awesome) the online system boasts the ability to send 5GB of data at a time, MEGA. 

With a beautiful interface, allowing easy navigation; Digital Pigeon really does simplify the whole data sending process. Aimed at the creative industry - features like image and video file preview, colour tagging and a fully customisable pick up page - are sure to make this website a firm favourite. 

Ooooh... Pigeon

Do you need a #Pintermission?

Car manufacturer, Honda, have created a brilliant Pinterest campaign called #Pintermission. The brand awarded $500 to five of the most active pinners, and then requested that they take a day away from the social media site in order to actually do some of the things that they have been pinning about.


The five lucky winners received a Twitter @mention and $500. Honda requested the winners shared images of their productive days, or whatever it was they decided to do, some choosing to holiday with their money! An intuitive way to encourage brand followers to enjoy life!

The release of Harrod's latest social media campaign, that greatly employs the medium of Pinterest, has been a catalyst for big predictions regarding the social media platform. Having already managed to trump the likes of StumpleUpon and LinkedIn to become the world's 3rd largest social media site, talks of Google looking to buy the company are hardly surprising.  

The Brand Character Resurrection

A campaign that has really caught my eye recently is the new EDF energy campaign, the creation of a character and the use of nostalgic 80’s music, helps to create a love and desire for a company within an industry the population resent!
