As ADF seemed to wonder too about what it is I do I thought I’d post some random stuff I did. This isn’t stuff that’s in my portfolio, it’s just little things I did.
Well, apart from this one: http://www.i-needtogo.com I’m the creative behind this campaign, which just won a Webby award. Whoohoo! I’m not high on advertising competitions, but the webbies are cool. Anyway, won people’s vote in some category.
Some stuff I did after I discovered the iSight webcam on my laptop.
I started the eat-clementines-in-one-go meme on youtube.
Here’s mine:
It started this. There’s lots more of ‘em but not everyone got they had to tag “clementinneke”.
My new things is make a fake Quicktime VR 360 thing using the Youtube quick capture feature and turning ’round my axis. It’s silly, but I like it. It’s new! It’s fun! You should all do it! (and tag kwiktime 360)
Joe at W+K explained the word “Holistic” to me. He said it was nearly impossible to use it in a conversation without doing the make-a-globe hand gesture. Which brought the problem of online conversations to my attention! Which I solved by making a 6-second YT vid of the hand gesture. Now you can use the word “holistic” online and link it to the video. Like I just did.

I’m also a Twitter philosopher.
I started a Facebook group for my ex-girlfriends, kind of a social experiment. It was interesting for a while than it got messy.
At my previous job they had this company that delivered lunch. You ordered through their website in the morning and it would get delivered by noon. You could also create your own salads, which you could than give a name. I tried communicating with the unknown person assembling my salad through the names I gave my salad. I documented this on my blog. It’s in Dutch so you won’t get it. I hope. That turned into a mess too. But on a brighter note The Dirty Sanchez salad was really good and the people at my previous job are still ordering them.
I once started a fictional Marketing company by buying a URL for a del.icio.us account. So it would forward to http://del.icio.us/thecompanyname Then the trick was only using 5 tags: About_us, Home, Contact, Blog, Work. Those 5 tags would than make up the menu on the right. I would just tag 1 relevant link for each of them except for Blog which I used to blog by tagging stuff and using the comment feature. I tagged http://del.icio.us/thecompanyname as Home. It was so Meta it made my head spin.
That’s what I call a winning streak – WK invitation plus the webby awards (liked that one a lot, nice odd references). Definitely good to see that WK is up to find new experimental forward thinkers. Advertising could start getting interesting with the help of a few more nonconventional creatives. Plus they hired some SEO/searchwizard too recently? Interesting. You did that wantz.it thingy right? Nice one!
Oh, and that lunch delivery mess is f’in hilarious! Brand hijacking at it’s finest!
Yes, wantz.it, I need to put more time in that one, it’s got potential. How did you know that?
I’ve been dabbling around with similar ideas for years, ’secondhand’using applications like delicious and such and well Mashable is always a good place to check out what people are up. Just happened to put two and two together when I saw your name pop up on blognation.
Sounds like you’re a doer. Nevermind what jobs seen the light of day or not. Think that’s what they care about. Suppose that they have a fairly(!) good staff that can care of any idea that you have. Good luck!
Thanks!
where did you cast the lady on the e-toilet. she rocks plus the idea is anything but toilet staff. really cool.
Thanks, her name is Karlijn Sileghem, she’s actually a quit famous actress
