As part of the ongoing work pimping the FARM offices we are proud to unveil our new feature wall painted by local artist Chris Tibbles.

The FARMers pitched in true DIY style to prep the wall before Chris arrived to work his magic.  With the help of tall Paul getting the rollers to reach the top of the wall this was much easier than anticpated!

Under the direction of designer Nikki (who put in many hours supervising this transformation!) the hills motif from The FARM website was interpreted by Chris into a work of art! 

Thanks for  your amazing work Chris! The FARM is very proud to show off it's newest masterpiece - taking centre stage at the upcoming Xmas party! 

The FARM are excited to hear the Aveeno™ NZ online media campaign (under the Johnson&Johnson client suite) has won the first every Bolly Award! This is an award that has been set up by the Internet Advertising Bureau in NZ to celebrate the best digital creative in NZ.

Feedback from OMD in NZ: "Well done, the creative for this campaign has been the talk of the industry and a lot of people (including me) think it’s just amazing."

The campaign performed really well with an average dwell time on the rich media placements of 76.25 seconds and engagement rate of 25.85%.

[2009] The FARM is very proud to announce that WiggleTime! has received a Highly Recommended mention in the 2009 Kidspot Best of Awards! We are very pleased to be recognised in the realm of children's education and online learning. A testament to the heights achieved by the FARM's design and development teams. Let's get Wiggling!

As our trusty spam king Phil Clevberger stumbled upon, these are some pretty amazing looking abandoned buildings in Taiwan.

The story goes that in the late 1970s a contemporary style holiday resort was commissioned using this UFO style prototype, however during the energy crisis in 1980 the project was abandoned mid-build. Located in a town near Taipei, the Government has ordered the ruined shells be dismantled.

It's quite fitting at Christmas time, to reflect on consumption...

This designer turns her daily purchases into illustrations that in turn make up a zine.
