Ballantine’s - Meet the Human API

Throughout this summer Ballantine’s whisky is celebrating people who leave an impression, unique people who challenge the status quo, whose work inspires others to follow their own paths. And we’re doing this in an equally unique and creative way – through a series of live streams where users can interact with the artist as he works, and affect the way his work turns out. We’ve already seen a digitally animated tattoo being inked live and an sculpture carved from ice brought to life with electricity. And next up on 14th July we have a live graffiti artist that will mix spray and user interactivity. Each live stream is followed by an edited film with the best moments to share with a wider audience online.

This is “The First Ever Augmented Tattoo - By K.A.R.L., our digital tattoist.

So far it’s had over 1 million views, none of which paid for. Leave an Impression…

The D&AD President Speaks to the World (in as many languages as possible)

Would you drink Factory Milk from Battery Cows? Not In Our Cuppa. Our WSPA campaign against Intensive Dairy Farming kicks off today with 100 battery cows busting out from a truck outside the Dairy Council this morning and roaming around London in search of a nice patch of grass. They’re twitpic-ing as they go and signing the public up in protest as they raise public awareness against the planned proposals for the 8000+ cow super-farm in Nocton, Lincolnshire.

The time has come for our Cherie Marie to leave the nest and so we face a daunting task. We must find a new front of house.

Here’s a bit of what we’re looking for; someone to welcome our clients, to man the phones, maintain the office, assist super ops manager Phil, play with the dog, throw huge parties, control the stationery, know what’s cool and where, learn some stuff, teach some stuff, be part of our family and make the club shine.

Now If you have a year+ experience in reception, a great personality and a big lot of energy we would love to hear from you.

E-mail your details and CV to join@work-club.com

And we’ll just wait here anxiously by the inbox, with a case of the hybrid Christmas Eve/First Date butterflies.

Our little-beating-knitted-heart sends anonymous love to all on twitter. Chose from Cute, G33ky, Lolcat, WTF and NSFW and our heart will send a message to your true love.

Unfortunately Twitter doesn’t love us or our heart and has suspended us. As someone said, perhaps the Black Eyed Peas… “Where is the love!”
We’re consoling her with some soothing classic FM, http://www.fr0mtheh34rt.com/

The project was made in a rush over 3 days by us and our friends Sidekick Studios and The Rumpus Room. Thanks guys, big love… from the little-beating-knitted-heart.

Introducing Listify, a wee app that makes Spotify playlists out of iTunes playlists.

Although you’re obviously at the mercy of Spotify’s catalogue - you can finally export (most) of your music library to Spotify. You’re welcome.

Ready, Set, Ho Ho Ho.

Another year, another gruelling Royal Parks running race. If you cast your sights back you may remember our Kenyan distance athlete friend John Murithi.

Well, this year we manned up ourselves… three of us did anyway. Santa hats off to Ben, Alex and Mani, along with everyone else that ran for the brilliant charity Contact A Family. And indeed all the other limber St. Nicks, your charities are cool too.

Now for crying out loud, get in and have a mince pie, it’s bitter out there.
