Open invite: join our online social network experiment

Have you ever been invited to an incredibly famous fine dining restaurant to accompany a group of disgustingly attractive, frighteningly decent and friendly people for a divine meal sloshed down with lashings of Chateau Petrus?

No, me neither.

But I bet if you were, you’d go for it, wouldn’t you? Eh?

You could leave that 12 day old tub of caked over houmos for another day, don both your least-dirty Marks & Spencer suit and a well-practiced rigid smile and go for it.

Well read on because a similarly incredible opportunity (’ONCE IN A LIFETIME, LOSERS!’) has just come up…

Join us - the bold sailors on the good ship Nixon McInnes - in our latest voyage into territories reasonable well known but in need of a little extra investigation: ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKING.

(Yes, yes. We agree that online social networks are more cliched and more frequently misunderstood than TomKat, but we also know that there exist unexplored islands of remarkable brilliance and wonder in amongst the oceans of vaporous hype.)

It’s just an experiment, so don’t panic. Because we specialise in the latest social media innovations kinda thing we know that experimentation is a big and important part of what we do. That way our clients get tried and tested, not ‘first thing we thought of’.

If you’re serious about learning more then you must do the same - so join us, today, at our new online social network.

It’s incredibly easy to join (very very very fast and painless) thanks to the remarkable web application we’re using for our experiment - Ning, of which there will be much more commentary later.

Join the fun here. We’re gonna make some waves :)

Nixon McInnes launch the childrens TV channel website Jim Jam

An interactive and design led website for parents and children to use together for learning and play

The Nixon McInnes team are incredibly excited to launch today an impressive addition to our website portfolio in the children’s TV channel site Jim Jam.

Jim Jam is a cable TV channel which has launched in its first territory, Italy, with plans to roll-out across Europe. Hence why the site is in Italian!

The team has designed and built two sites for Jim Jam. The first site was a password protected press site made live in advance of the main channel and site launch to promote and manage media contact. This static HTML microsite was developed to tight deadlines to allow press release and media pack downloads.

The second and main site option is a bespoke design led site with interactive games created using Flash animation. The activities, colour and general vibrancy of the site makes it a welcome opportunity to demonstrate the creative design strength at Nixon McInnes.

The main site details the TV channel schedule which the client is able to populate using an EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) plug-in. The home page can also be updated to highlight changing channel promotions or seasonal themes.

View the Jim Jam site here.

Why not try your hand at the games – more fun than that report you should be writing!
