The gum was the first of its kind, and they wanted to convey how this gum can replace desserts and cut back calories. What we designed is an interactive experience based around two truths: it's easier to do anything with the support of a friend, and communities help motivate people stay motivated. What we created is Chew Buddies. A place where people can connect and suport each other to battle off love handles. http://zachmyrow.com/AT-T-Mobile-Barcodes http://zachmyrow.com/following/zachmyrow.com/AT-T-Mobile-Barcodes Mon, 20 Dec 2010 19:37:59 +0000 ZACH MYROW | INTERACTIVE COPYWRITER 872146 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29982/872146/Screen shot 2010-12-20 at 2.18.23 PM_900.png" border="0" width="900" height="595" width_o="1278" height_o="845" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29982/872146/Screen shot 2010-12-20 at 2.18.23 PM_o.png" align="left" /> Description AT&T asked Firstborn to create a website that showcased all the ways mobile barcodes can help businesses advertise.

Rochester Institute of Technology's annual Imagination and Creativity Festival includes hundreds of exhibitions that attract more than 30,000 visitors. On the day of the festival at 10 am, Imagine RIT Live took its first breath. The blog utilized both RIT staffed reporters and festival guests to report minute-by-minute happenings across the campus. Festival guests could email imagineritlive(at)rit.edu with a short story, picture or video, and it was automatically screened and put up on the web. They could also take part on Twitter by using #imagineritlive as the hash-tag, and the site would pull in their tweet and place it on the blog. It was a great success with a constant flow of information being sent in by both groups. So what's next? How about RFID wristbands that counts the number of visitors at each exhibit, which then auto-tweets current exhibit info every 30 minutes? view the site http://zachmyrow.com/VCARD http://zachmyrow.com/following/zachmyrow.com/VCARD Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:28:04 +0000 ZACH MYROW | INTERACTIVE COPYWRITER 355742 Description This is the very first ad I did at the ripe age of 14.
