White Christmas Guaranteed

iPhone app from Ogilvy. Syncs with your camera and adds gently falling snow to any scene. Take a photo and send to confuse your friends.


Disproves the mantra - An app is for life not just Christmas.

More Virtual Bums



You wait ages for a virtual bum and then they all come at once. Love this online fashion tool from Fashionista too.


Does My Bum Look Big In This?



A range of different sized virtual women model a variety of underwear. KnickerPicker is the best online shopping experience I have seen in a while. Practical for chaps - my mrs is a cross between blonde #1 & brunette #2 - and women can actually see what their purchase might look like. I love the "get your own Virtual Underwear Catwalk" feature and the effect it might have on my dwell time scores...



Hmmm, I wonder if there is a market for PantPicker.com, with a selection of string vest and saggy boxers.

BK Augmented Reality Dollar



another great use of augmented reality. i say 'another' but there are very few out there. good to see people are starting to realise how to use this nice shiney object, rather than just doing it for doing its sake. who do you think will be the first to tag their whole product catalogue - unilever or p& g; hold up a product and it tells you how to use it, shows you a recipe or adds it to your basket...

Ogilvy Speak At TED



What value the intangible? Everyone in marketing should watch Ogilvy UK Group Vice Chairman, Rory Sutherland speak at TED on how advertising adds value to a product by changing perception. That change in perceived value can be just as satisfying as what we consider “real” value.

Comments suggest this is up with the best TED talks ever...

Disclaimer: I am lucky to work with Rory/hang on his coatails.
