A new Digital Lab opens at Westbourne Terrace…

16 June 2010

Earlier this month a new Digital Lab was opened at the Ogilvy offices in Westbourne Terrace.

The Lab was inspired by the original Ogilvy Digital Lab at Canary Wharf, and has been coordinated by OgilvyAction and Ogilvy Healthworld staff based at Westbourne Terrace.

The technology has been provided by our Digital Lab partners and showcases the latest and most innovative in digital technology to our staff and clients, allowing them to get hands-on experience, and to develop, test and deploy innovative content for state-of-the-art platforms:

– Augmented reality demos (CrossPlatform)
– A 360° TV (Yershon Media Solutions)
– A gaming pod (EA Video Games)
– A wireless mobile chargebox (Scramblr)
– A Holobox (activ-8 3D)
– Interactive iPhone gaming (Velti)
– Amplifi wifi content delivery technology (The Bright Place)
– A touch table (Touch It)
– QR code clothing (QRazyStuff)
– Point-and-find technology (Nokia)
– An interactive floor projection (EyeClick).

A Labs spokeswoman says: “All of this equipment has huge potential for everyone – from self-educating in the latest technologies and digital advertising opportunities to touring the Digital Lab with our clients to get them thinking and doing.”

Football’s coming home (to London W2, anyway)

9 June 2010

The fourth annual Institute of Promotional Marketing (until very recently known as the ISP, or Institute of sales Promotion) 5-a-side Football Tournament saw Ogilvy Action beat Haygarth in the final. Read More on the IPM site.

The event, which took place at the London Soccer Dome (formerly the David Beckham Academy) last night (June 8th), saw teams from 16 agencies battle it out.

The top two teams met in the final, while the teams which placed third and fourth competed for the PHL Plate, which this year went to BD Network, which beat Euro RSCG KLP.
