Mind Orchard monthly update

Hands are firmly in the air in celebration this month!
We've had a double reason for revelry with our iCarly banner campaign getting more hits than any other Nickelodeon campaign...EVER! Then just as the whoops were dying down, the Genie in the House banner campaign promptly overtook it and celebrations were had once more!

Building on last year's amazing success (and consequent Gold Award) of the Nick's Big Trip site, we started a fantastic update that includes a totally new user interface, new tracks for the brilliant racing game and a few new features such as the Art Car and the Big Trip Events blog.

Another annual update was for Lego City 2008, we created a whole new micro-site for this much-loved product range.

The fantastic Crafty Arty World site went live this month. The National award winning Crafty Arty Parties has quickly established itself as the UK's leading children's event/party company. Look out for Crafty Arty's very own children's characters The Pongs^TM and their fabulous new interactive micro-site, coming soon! We're very excited about it all!

The Kid's Choice Awards banners are looking incredible! In case you've been living under a rock for the last couple of years, the Kid's Choice Awards are the world's biggest awards ceremony after the Oscars, where kids get to slime celebrities and vote for their favourite Nick content. Voting can be done directly from our banners and voters are also in with a chance to win tickets to the event.

Also this month we've been collaborating with Incisive Media in redesigning their Inquirer and Gizmodo sites and also building a design guide for their 135 news sites.

Well that rounds off this month's update! Check back soon for more news!!

Mind Orchard monthly update

And the gold award goes to....
Mind Orchard! We've been awarded the coveted Gold Award at the ISP awards in the Automotive Business to Business category for our Nick's Big Trip site.
The judges said "Nick's Big Trip extended the advertising creative below the line brilliantly and included a key target audience in the family car-buying decision... Children!"
We are of course extremely proud of this amazing achievement!!
We recently completed a funky, retro micro-site and game for Nickelodeon and Weetabix which was promoting the healthier aspects of the cereal.
Definitely worth mentioning is the amazing site we created for the Spiderwick Chronicles movie that was released back in March, although it was created a few months ago it's definitely worth having a look at in our portfolio, isn't the book just amazing?..
Well that's it for another month, we have plenty of exciting things happening over the next few months such as the new site for Lego City 2008 we're currently working on and will be sure to keep you posted!

Mind Orchard monthly update

Well..........
Mind Orchard have certainly had an interesting time lately!

We've been busy working on an exciting website and 2 games in conjunction with Nickelodeon for the fantasy adventure film; Nims Island.

We've also been working with Incisive Media, one of the world's fastest growing information providers, to relaunch some of their key properties.

Their new white paper search network, their quirky and popular Gizmodo - which we have all been fans of for a while, plus the infamous Inquirer, known for its acerbic view of IT news.

And to add even more variety to the month so far we're working with MTV and Clean & Clear on their new Sweet Sixteen website to promote a string of parties across the land, expect red carpets and VIP passes galore!

1st February 2008

Mind Orchard monthly update

Well 2008 has taken off with a bang for us here at Mind Orchard, to say the least. We've been rushed off our feet but thought it only fair to give you an insight to what we've been creating here in our magical studio...

The creation of Zerebeleum the Magnificent has definitely been a highlight for us, his wondrous powers have given us an insight into what the year holds for us all. Give it a go and find out what 2008 has in store for you but be careful not to shake him too hard...

Remember Sonic the Hedgehog? Well, he's back, better then ever and we're creating a wicked micro-site to help promote his new game. Very exciting indeed!

There's also a new Nick Jnr show starting February 18th called Yo Gabba Gabba, it's been an absolute hit State side and we've created some fantastic games for it (check out the quote from our client) - which by the way are way better then the ones made over in the US. The Kids are gonna go crazy for Yo Gabba Gabba, wahoo!

And last but by no means least, there is a new Dr Seuss film coming out soon and we're creating the competition micro-site for this. It's most definitely one of our favourites.

Mind Orchard monthly update

This month we have been mostly making Facebook applications, some nice corporate style branding stuff in a very cool site for Metro and hp in three languages: www.metro-hp.com.

We have also been involved in making some cool games for our favourite client Nickelodeon, this includes some mean work from our digital animation studio on Magic Roundabout and some playable games in some sweet advertising banner campaigns. We love our job.
