We spotted this little gem from Cadbury, who launched a new AR game that is activated by their chocolate bar packaging. They are using Blippar’s image recognition technology and AR platform.
The game is simple and additive like any great game, and enables you to interact with your food like never before the scores are then shared on your social networks. Someone should really look at taking this idea into the restaurant arena for kids who are waiting for their food etc instead of the usual crayons and paper, McDonald’s please take note.

We spotted this video from JWTintelligence and felt that in many of its top 10 tips for 2011 they really hit the nail on the head. Now we are half way through the year there are a number that are really starting to hit home.
Retail stores really need to start to develop from a place that consumers simple buy products to areas where they can engage with and be immersed with the brand. Some of the blog posts we have put together recently really hit home these ideas. The ironic thing is that most of these are relatively cheap to put together. Enjoy……..

Some of the presentation below is fantastic, we especially liked the ideas used by Adidas. The cost of bandwidth has seen this type of solution now being delivered from hosting environments. however still pretty clever taking the online and physical relationship to a new level.

C24 had a fantastic 2010 with the company growing from 5 to 13 people and new clients being added almost monthly. The projected figures for 2011 will see the company go from strength to strength as we have added a number of experienced sales people and increased the depth of our product portfolio.
We recognise that we are in a competitive environment and that a number of our hosting and application delivery solutions that we offer are gradually becoming more commoditised, however when clients work with C24 it is not usually just about hosting an application it is about building their business with an organisation that cares about them. We recently received a great review on linkedin from a company that we regularly work with the following is the comments made:
” WIthout a shadow of doubt C24 are experts in integration. I’ve known them to start a project cut over at midnight Friday and the main people then not take a break till Monday morning to insure a seamless transfer for a client. Going beyond the call of duty is standard for C24, the only surprise I ever get from them is the occasional, ‘we just can’t do it’ as it’s such a rare answer from them. Highly recommended company, people and processes.” Brett Rowe, Sales & Marketing Director at TFM Networks Ltd Reading, United Kingdom.
Organisations do go to larger hosting companies and sometimes get great service, however if you are looking at hosting or would just like to seek some advice we would be more than happy to sit down with you and discuss your needs and give you an honest experienced recommendation.
Thanks for reading this blog and please visit again soon as we try to update at least 2/3 times a week with blogs based around technology that we are interested in. See you soon.
