Emobot - Teenager Translator

In a partnership between HPB and Universal Music, we created a social media platform that could translate youth's emotions into a language anyone can understand - music. Check it out here: http://apps.facebook.com/emobotapp

soyjoy.com.sg - The Anti-Snack

The SoyJoy website was first launched with cute Japanese office characters,
it got 20,000 hits within the first 2 weeks.

Within 3 months, we launched an all-out war against
bad snacks. The cutesy characters in the website turned
into lean, mean, fighting machines.

The "Anti-Snack" Movement had begun.

Anyone could join the fight by pledging on the website and creating unique
avatars that would appear on their Facebook profiles.

We also took the fight to the streets of Singapore's CBD, when the nasty snacks descended on Raffles Place, members of public were invited to shoot them with Nerf guns to win free bars.

Selling Fake Awards to Sell The Crowbar Awards

Jon Loke and I were Co-Chairs of The Crowbar Awards in 2010, so we worked with our team to design a garish scam website that sold fake advertising awards. A video we shot of dodgy vendors hawking their fake trophies on campus went viral and even made headlines in the local newspaper. Students who clicked "BUY" were given an entry kit to try and win accolades with great ideas instead of money.

"Always Know When to Stop"

To let youths realise that they could be binge drinking without even knowing it, we showcased examples of people who didn’t know when too much was too much.

Binge Drinking Integrated Campaign

Here's a short video we put together to document the whole campaign.

Live It Up Without Lighting Up

Teens are sick and tired of scare tactics when it comes to anti-smoking ads, so we illustrated the benefits of not smoking. We also broke the record for the largest flash mob in Singapore with "The Great Audio Experience", where students and young people came from all over the country and followed instructions via a broadcast on the local youth radio station Power 98 FM.

Not So Secret Lives 2

The first season of www.notsosecretlives.com was a hit, so we decided to up the ante and the drama in this sequel. The story starts off the morning after a boy's night out. Trey finds himself naked, in a strange bed, with no memory of what had happened. Things get complicated when Jessie gets suspicious. In addition to social media and blogger engagement, radio DJs used the online drama as talking points to discuss intimate relationships among youths.

Tamiya "Frames"

To show that Tamiya models are accurate and detailed replications of their real car counterparts, super-sized Tamiya sprue frames were placed next to real vehicles in high traffic areas, making the vehicles seem like larger-than-life Tamiya models.

Online Drama - The Not So Secret Lives of Us

When the Health Promotion Board wanted to talk to Singaporean youths about HIV, we tapped on their voyeuristic impulses and created a story revolving around 4 teenagers, told through their interlinking blogs on notsosecretlives.com. Followers could leave comments and influence the story arc, eventually having the final say in how the story ended.

DOVE ShowerOK - The world's one and only shower karaoke booth!

When Dove introduced it’s new ‘goFresh’ range of shower products, it faced a bit of an image problem: many teens and younger women felt Dove was ‘their mother’s soap’.Tasked with the job of rejuvenating the brand’s image with a single ‘activation’ idea, we decided to create a platform that pushed and empowered Singaporeans to get out of their comfort zones and ‘give it a go’. Presenting the world’s first public, high-performance shower-karaoke machine.

We launched with a series of guerilla posters with lyrics to several karaoke anthems pinned up on the walls of public showers.We also made a ShowerOK! YouTube channel at the fraction of the cost of a traditional website to host the campaign. Video footage of the wild and crazy showerOK antics was seen, commented, and voted on www.doveshowerok.com
