Lynx Rise Competition

29.05.2010 0

In order to promote the new Lynx Rise shower gel, I created a fan page application where users are asked to spot the difference in a photo of Jessica Jane Clement. The fan page application has a simple data entry form users could fill in to enter the contest. The winner would win a Flip HD Camera and a signed copy of Jessica’s calendar.

After entering the contest, users were presented with four television adverts they could view that promoted the Rise shower gel. The application was available to use on Lynx’s official Facebook Fan page for a few weeks. The application was taken down after the end of the competition.

The application can still be accessed here.

Nissan Ski Contest

01.05.2010 0

The Nissan Winter Challenge application was another application I created for Nissan’s “Prove It” Facebook Fan Page. The application allowed users to upload videos and photo of their skiing holidays from several European destinations. Users could then comment on the the content and hate it using a thumbs up / down rating system.

The application hooked into YouTube to provide automatic video upload functionality, and with Flickr to share photos. Users uploaded their video and photos to the application server, after which the content would either get sent to YouTube and Flickr for videos and photos, respectively.

The futher add-on to the application was created to integrate with the Nissan Ski Contest iPhone Application, which I built an API for. Users could record their Ski run on their iPhone and upload it to the Facebook application to share with friends. The iPhone application was build by another agency but the API for the Facebook Application was built by me using XML and PHP.

The application was localized for five European countries:

  • United Kingdom
  • France
  • Germany
  • Spain
  • Italy
