Krispy Kreme Love RouletteKrispy Kreme Love RouletteKrispy Kreme Love RouletteIf you’re looking for love this Valentines Day then Krispy  Kreme may have the answer: they have once again released their Love Roulette game on their Facebook page and website.

The game is a bit of fun, matching you with one of your Facebook friends, regardless of gender, preference or relationship status (we were matched with married people and those of the same gender on some attempts), and then it offers you a voucher to get a free doughnut when you buy one of their new Valentines Day doughnuts.

A clever idea to help promote their new doughnuts and inspire you to buy one for that special person in your life!

Play the game on Facebook here or the website here. Enjoy!

December 3, 2012 Leave a comment


Stella Artois Facebook AppThis is a fantastic Facebook app from Stella Artois – the only problem is that it is US based so only recognises addresses from the US and Canada, however have a play as it is very clever.

Punch in your address (or make one up) and watch as Alice Eve and her cool band comes to sing carols outside your ‘house’.

Come on Stella – add some other countries and give all a chance to send our Christmas message.

Fancy running over your pretentious friends?

September 5, 2012 Leave a comment


Mitsubishi AppEver wanted to get your own back on your pretentious friends on Facebook – well this is the app for you.

“Mitsubishi Unpretentious” analyses the content from your friends’ Facebook pages to see which are your most pretentious friends and then runs them over with a speeding 2013 Outlander Sport.

It does not always get it right but it does most of the time.

Combining marketing with interactive online apps has become a great extension to consumer product launches, getting people to engage with products in a fun and interesting way.

Whether encouraging people to run down people they don’t like is questionable but fun anyway.

Click here to get the app.

Fifth Wall app interacts with performer

July 1, 2012 1 Comment


Fifth Wall AppFifth Wall AppA new app for performing arts publication 2wice called “Fifth Wall” takes interactivity to another level, allowing you to interact with performers by moving your iPad screen.

It was created in collaboration with the choreographer Jonah Bokaer and 2wice publisher Patsy Tarr and takes advantage of the unique spatial and physical parameters of the iPad. In the app, Bokaer engages with the edges of the iPad screen and as users interact with the iPad, the performance responds to the movement of the user, flipping when the screen is turned, or changing when the surface is swiped. 

A great use of apps to engage an audience.

See the video of the making of the app below and click here to download.

AIA launches architecture app

June 2, 2012 Leave a comment


AIA AppIf you’re heading over to the States and fancy finding out more about the buildings around you then this is the essential app.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has formed a partnership with Broadcastr and created an app that provides in-depth information about the buildings around you along with exclusive interviews with architects and a vast library of narratives from local professionals that reveal the stories and facts. The app initially works in Los Angeles, New York City and Washington D.C.

“Imagine standing in front of one of the world’s great buildings and listening to the architect tell you about her inspiration,” said Andy Hunter, CEO of Broadcastr. “We are thrilled that our partnership with AIA makes that possible.”

The AIA Broadcastr is available on Apple and Android. Let us know if you make it over there and use it. Should RIBA be launching a similar app?

Apple of my Eye: The many apps of an iphone

February 25, 2011 Leave a comment


It won’t be the first time we at The Think Tank have found ourselves rather giddy about the many new i-phone apps that currently available for download. It goes without saying that phones are set to be the new computers by 2015; to this fact, we have all resigned. What is so exciting however is the speed and diverse nature to which these applications are being created.

Take for example the creation of the Nike Training Club app (a get fit customizable training regime), the Nash Ramblas app (a guide to the London festival of architecture) or even the Rob Walters Salary Checker (a guide to find out how much you are really worth), it’s anybody’s guess as to what the next app creation will be. So, let’s get guessing!
