4. Danny MacAskill’s Imaginate
As usual Red Bull haven’t done things by halves.
Two years in the making, street trials rider Danny
MacAskill releases his brand new riding film.
Whilst previous projects have focused on
locations and journeys, MacAskill's Imaginate
sees Danny take a completely different
approach to riding. Enter Danny's mind and
enjoy.

5. Carling Royal Baby ad
One of the better branded attempts at Newsjacking
the arrival of the Royal Baby. Put live as soon as the
news broke about, clearly they had two versions lined
up depending on the news.

6. Clam Kings
A nice take on all of the ridiculous dramatic reality
shows which seem to pop up on a weekly basis.

8. BA – Picture your holiday
A nice site from BA, playing on the popularity of
the visual web (Pinterest, Fancy, Tumblr) pick
out the images which best fit what your looking
for and have holidays recommended based on
those pics.

9. Wrangler 404
Good 404 pages have become a regular
occurrence. It had been a while since I had
actually encountered one for a real reason.

brand.

along during Andy Murray Wimbledon matches.

technology to create a great campaign.

15. Lynx Get Le Girl App
Language barrier? What language barrier? An

you’re abroad. Challenge your mates in the
Chat Up Challenge – you might get le girl or you
might get a slap in the face.

17. Book Of
The MonthMobile First by Luke Wroblewski
Whether you know anything about mobile or not this
is definitely a good starting point but also if you do
know your stuff, it’s a pretty good round up of
the current state of the mobile landscape.
Best practice small and large.
