A Thousand Suns for Linkin Park

[September 2010] TheFARM are psyched to see our latest campaign for Warner Music Australia (for none other than Linkin Park!!) taking off.

The A Thousand Suns project is a multi-channel, multi-phase extravaganza to coincide with the launch of the Park’s new album and their upcoming tour.

Phase one - an Australia specific Facebook page and a pre-order exclusive offer – including early access to purchase tickets for shows on the band’s next Australian tour.

 

Phase two - a destination site that integrates with Facebook and hosts two competitions. Check it out (there might be a trip to London in it for you). 

More to come. Watch this space.

FARMing by Numbers

[August 2010] TheFARM ended July on a high note with the launch of not one, but two, calculator projects. 

Russell Contributions Calculator

Built for our friends at Russell this app allows BHP Billiton Pension contributors to work out how much cash they should add to their pension on a Before Tax and After Tax basis for the financial year to yield the best return. 

The particular mechanics are beyond this FARMer, but I’m assured by those more closely involved that this was the MOST complicated Flash application build in the history of the interwebs.

Zodiac Pool Heating Site

This nifty little site will help you figure out the best heating method for your pool - as well as what it will cost you to run. 

Enter a few details about your pool and the way you enjoy it and the calculator serves up a list of the most suitable systems and their associated running costs.

THeFARM makes investment sexy (seriously we can do anything!)

[April 2010] TheFARM was very pleased to see the fund selector we’ve been working on for Russell Investments go live this week.

The Fund Selector allows the user to explore how Russell Investments' choices are built, across the various options that make up the Diversified Funds.

It operates via a 3D Flash based application hosted within the current Russell Investment site. A FARM hosted Umbraco CMS runs the Flash frontend.

The result: a fully flexible navigation system for our friends at Russell. And it’s just a little bit sexy ; ) Skeptical? Check it out here.

OMG, it’s finally up and running!

[April 2010] Over the past few months TheFARM has been building a huge brand hub to encompass all of Neutrogena® young skin care, and we’re really excited to announce that it’s launched!

The cross platform, social media hub is One Less Stress, but we like to call it OLS.

OLS was born out of the simple insight that feeling stressed can cause skin to become stressed, which can in turn lead to feeling more stress and so on. The idea is to help break this vicious cycle by creating a dialogue where young women can share some of their stress and alleviate it with advice and stress-busting giveaways.

In a first for our relationship with Johnson & Johnson TheFARM was given the opportunity to be the lead creative agency - leading the development of the master brand, roll out of the platform idea and integration of OLS into print and TV!

The eight month campaign is running across MySpace, Facebook and (for the first time in Johnson & Johnson Australia history) Twitter.

 

The launch phase sees roadblocks and rich media placements on influencer sites like Beauty Heaven, 2Threads and Bella Sugar, who will also provide content for OLS via partner publishing and cross promotions.

The OLS umbrella brand is designed to adapt through the year to promote the various Neutrogena young skin products, with creative and content reflecting the rationales of each sub brand. Right now, it’s all about orange and Acne Stress Control. A phase two facelift will see OLS become pretty in pink to match the Neutrogena® Wave™.

Indications are the folks at Johnson & Johnson are as loving OLS as much as we are! A committed New Zealand roll out is in the works and J&J Pacific has already presented the idea to the global team for further expansion.

Aveeno Active Naturals launch

[April2010] TheFARMers have had a busy few months preparing for some major launches for Johnson & Johnson and were particularly tickled to see the Aveeno® campaign take off over the weekend.

A new range in Australia, the campaign centers around increasing brand awareness and educating the masses via a big bold media launch. We produced takeovers, rich media, standard banners, a Facebook page and of course www.aveeno.com.au.

Already popular product in the US – where it has been recommended by dermatologists for decades – the early signs are that Aveeno® will be a similar success here. A seeding campaign on sites such as Beauty Heaven, 2Threads and Bella Sugar has already resulted in some rave reviews and testimonials.

In a Facebook first TheFARM also created an application which allows Aveeno® to gather consumer feedback via Facebook. Check out the Aveeno® product survey here.
