You may have noticed we have had a birdhouse hanging here at gspdigital.com housing a pair of birds from Audubon’s Birding the Net contest that we at GSP have been a part of. It’s not too late to start birding, in fact, the competition is just beginning to heat up. Get started by rolling over a bird above or visit the game on Facebook.

Pick n’ Play is an interactive OOH game that allows users to play Pong against each other on a digital billboard from their mobile devices. It’s a web-based not application so it doesn’t require a download – hooray for cross platform! It also geo-validates you, providing “winners” with a McDonald’s coupon to redeem.

I kept waiting for subliminal messages to come through in the words which fell down.

Ogilvy & Mather, Colombia, created a live interactive experience to promote the game of Pictionary.
People stepped into a free photobooth set up in a mall, took “pictures”, and 10 seconds later, received cartoons of themselves as scribbled by a hidden cartoonist.
A clever immersive idea to promote a fun product.
