anded Experiences aims to achieve design nirvana, where there is a perfect harmony between a person and the design artifact, be it an object, place, or service.
We do this in every domain by subscribing to a few basic principles: We believe that great brands are simple, understandable expressions of a company’s intention. We recognize that brands and their stories must allow consumers to participate in the edification and re-creation of the brands themselves. We empower end users to influence the market from the bottom up and employ user-centric design to identify and translate those emerging movements into viable strategies. Our ideas are based on fundamental human needs; they are appropriate for consumer contexts and can be seamlessly implemented by our clients.

To attract attention and to emphasize the excitment of this small town rodeo, cutouts of flying bull riders were used to cast shadows in high traffic locations of downtown Calgary. Near the cast shadows contestant number tags were place giving the dates and URL of the rodeo to passers-by.

In case you were dead yesterday…

A really interesting article about high end prostitute, a small segmentation and that interesting bit:
"What high-end clients pay for may surprise you. For example, according to my ongoing interviews of several hundred sex workers, approximately 40 percent of trades in New York's sex economy fail to include a physical act beyond light petting or kissing. No intercourse, no oral stimulation, etc. That's one helluva conversation. But it's what many clients want. Flush with cash, these elite men routinely turn their prostitute into a second partner or spouse. Over the course of a year, they will sometimes persuade the woman to take on a new identity, replete with a fake name, a fake job, a fake life history, and so on. They may want to have sex or they may simply want to be treated like King for a Day."

The Never Greens don't buy green products, don't remember green advertising when they see it and are irritated by it even if they do, according to Mintel.
About 26% of Americans are hardcore skeptics. They tend to be upper-income, middle-aged, conservative males, she said.
Coverley, a retired investment banker, fits the profile almost perfectly. He lives in the middle of the country, is highly educated, has lots of disposal income, and is a man who is not shy with his opinions about the economy and the price of oil.
"I don't care about the environmental reasons and I'll tell you why," Coverley said. "All this stuff about carbon emissions, no one really knows about the output of the sun and yet it's the single most important input behind global warming . . . Are the Chinese going to be environmentalists? Are the Indians going to be environmentalists? Are the Russians? I don't think so."

""One bike innovation out of the Netherlands recently caught the attention of one of our spotters: a combination bike stand and tire pump. Designed by Studio HiMom, the Heklucht pump was originally developed for an art project in Ypenburg, a newly built Dutch neighbourhood. With the goal of stimulating neighbourhood interaction, eight of the stainless-steel units—available in multiple colours—were placed in front of eight Ypenburg houses. The Heklucht won a Dutch Design Award back in 2006 in the category of public space products, and has since been installed also in Gent, Vienna and Leeds, Studio HiMom says."

Start Wearing Purple campaign focuses on innovative ways to celebrate the eccentric side of life, as embodied in Yahoo's official colour. For the "Purple Pedals" portion of the campaign, Yahoo took a fleet of 20 custom-pained Electra Townie 8 bicycles and rigged each one with solar panels and a camera-equipped mobile phone mounted on the handlebars in waterproof housing. Each "yBike," as Yahoo calls them, was also given its own, dedicated Flickr account. The cameras were then rigged to take photos every 60 seconds while the bike is moving, and to immediately upload and geotag them on Flickr.

I wrote earlier this year about Elaine Gennard-Levy and her luxury loo on Oxford street, here's another loo story..
"It's one thing to offer luxury portable toilets for hire at private events, the way Igloo does. For a company like Visa to sponsor similar upscale conveniences as a privilege for its customer members, however, is quite another matter.
Yet that's just what Visa did this summer at San Francisco's Outside Lands music and arts festival, where it set up a VIP Signature Lounge reserved exclusively for the use of its cardholders. Those in possession of a Visa Signature card could gain access to private luxury restrooms a far cry above the porta-potties provided for the masses, along with a private bar and a free blanket gift for visiting the lounge. For entry, cardholders had simply to present their Visa Signature card, their ID and any valid festival ticket."

"Launching Link@Sheraton in a big way, the hotel brand invited New Yorkers to abandon their desks yesterday to work from Central Park, where it recreated its new lounges and set the right example by stationing around 600 of Starwood's own employees to work remotely using Link@Sheraton's technological offerings. The event, dubbed Global Out Of Office Day, was also celebrated in in Shanghai, where Sheraton took over part of West Nanjing Road, and in Sydney's Customs House. While tumbling markets made for rather awkward timing, especially since Sheraton hopes to attract more business travellers, the concept playfully combined a number of consumer and marketing trends that are still going strong: pop-up spaces, online oxygen, brand butlers and, of course, new spaces for mobile workers."

Sheraton is the first hotel to offer Microsoft Surface in its lobby, it says, but it surely won't be the last to feature such technology. Following hard on the heels of the hotel chain's recently cobranded Link @ Sheraton experienced with Microsoft effort to turn deserted hotel lobbies into technology-enabled brand spaces, the new lobby experience promises to keep consumers engaged and coming back for more. So far, just scratching the "surface" on this one … other hotels, airports, restaurants—what about you? ;-
