Vlakbij het Gentse Sint-Pietersstation komt een volledig nieuwe stadswijk. Voor het ontwerp van het eerste gebouw organiseerde Euro Immo Star een architectuurwedstrijd die gewonnen werd door het architectenduo Poponcini & Lootens.

De nieuwe kantoortoren heeft echter nog geen naam en daarvoor lanceren we samen met Euro Immo Star een oproep. Iedereen die een klinkende naam voor het bouwwerk kan bedenken, kan deze indienen via www.projectsofa.be. De winnaar wordt de naamgever van het nieuwe gebouw, verdient eeuwige roem en krijgt bovendien een weekend naar Londen voor twee personen cadeau. Ook de tweede en derde finalist mogen hun koffers pakken.

No Smoking Day, the UK charity, has launched a Facebook application to help consumers kick the habit. No Smoking Day, which takes place today, 10 March, is using the app to make "quitting fun".

WeQuit.co.uk/facebook allows users to create rewards for success, forfeits for failure, challenge friends, and raise money for charity with a sponsored quit.

Nice campaign that is. Will it help a few of my colleagues To Quit?

Following a creative pitch in 2009 Continental chose LUON as a new partner for its dealer communication.  This spring, LUON also handles some of Continental’s end-user communication with two campaign sites: one focusing on the FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa and a second one to coincide with the Conti 4X4 Trophy in Morocco later this year (stay tuned to this blog for more news about that soon).

The FIFA World Cup^TM competition, which  runs from 1 March until 15 April, offers its 3 grand prize winners a duo ticket for the football event of the year in South Africa. The game principle is simple: the players who gather the highest number of air miles and submit the most creative motivation, win. In order to raise the buzz, we expanded the campaign site with its own Facebook group.

So, if you’ve been daydreaming about hopping a plane and heading out to Johannesburg for some football kicks, you know what to do. Go check it out here.

We recently developed a new identity, tactics and interface design for Atos Worldline's "Mijn Voordeel" website.

"Mijn Voordeel" is a platform where retailers offer benefits and discounts to Visa and Mastercards users.

To bring the site and the new functionalities to the attention of those retailers and to motivate them to publish their offers online, we created a targetted on- & offline launch campaign. A textbook example of a response-oriented mailpack.

And response it brought. Resulting in our customer telling us: "Our sales teams can hardly follow up the leads and the requests". What more of a compliment do you want as a direct marketeer?

We kick off the second phase of the ecoist campaign with the construction of a virtual house at www.ikbenecoist.be. Its interior filled to the brim with ecoist products. And the really cool thing is: registered ecoists can win most of them through the website or by visiting the special Vaillant booth at Batibouw 2010.

Still wondering what on earth an “ecoist” is? Either you’ve been living in a cave or you haven’t been following our blog lately. In a nutshell: an ecoist is someone who knows that living energy-consciously is the best way to preserve nature and save money. More than 1,000 of them entered the competition to become Belgium’s Greatest Ecoist in the autumn of 2009. The winner walked away with a complete solar energy system worth 5,000 euros.

Sundays are ideal for sorting out records. This afternoon, I came across of this Styrofoam picture disc I designed back in 2002. Stood the test of time, if I may say so myself.

Look out for a new Styrofoam record out very soon. Meanwhile, get yourself a copy of Arne's previous record "A thousand words" (artwork also by me).

Blaise Aguera y Arcas, the architect of Bing Maps building augmented reality into searchable maps, presented some impressive technology at TED.
