Nokia: Foursquare enabled gift machine
To celebrate Nokia’s sponsorship of Social Media Week 2011, we built this Foursquare activated machine for all and sundry to enjoy. And they did…
YouthNet: The Morning After Brewery
YouthNet asked us to help them talk to young people in a fresh and innovative way about the issues of sex and alcohol. And so the Morning After Brewery was born…
Disney / Nokia: Tron franchise
We supported Nokia’s sponsorship of the Tron movie franchise with a social engagement program that brought the movie experience to life in social media and reached millions online.
SKINS: Tour de Velo
Proving that with SKINS ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things, we discovered Quentin Field Boden – a 51 year old UK blogger and amateur road cyclist who had grand plans to ride the entire Tour de France route – and made his dream happen.
While Quentin trialled SKINS’ new products by cycling the route three days before the professionals and sharing his experiences in social media at every step, a further set of influential cycling enthusiasts in the UK and Australia were sent SKINS products to trial at home through challenges that reflected the hardships of the Tour.
Ovi Maps: Making navigation social
How do you make Nokia’s navigation solution conversational and get new audiences talking?
We used insights and worked back from what people naturally love to talk about. We then developed a social strategy that engaged and inspired our target audience of automotive enthusiasts as well as technology fans to experience, review, and ultimately recommend Nokia’s leading navigation solutions and accessories.
Last week, I attended a conference in Egypt all about the uses and abuses of social media in a changing world. One of the questions that kept cropping up during discussions was on the variable nature of the online network, and the implications this will have on our social behaviour.…
I held out for as long as possible, but a few months ago, I allowed my 11yr old son to open a Facebook account (their ‘terms of service’ state they have to be 13). Frankly, I was just as concerned about the necessity of lying about his age as I was about the safety issues, and even more so about the temptation to spend yet more time in front of a screen.…
In a world where brands are striving to be more human and authentic, isn’t it natural to make mistakes or get burnt every now and again? Often brands find themselves looking at a difficult situation, whether it’s because of a mistake or simply a competitor trying to devalue their reputation, and have to ask themselves… “What do we do now?”
I’d like to share a story with you about two unlikely companies that have both received a surge of interest and positive publicity because of the way they handled a tricky situation.…
Facebook has launched a campaign with the UK and US organ donation services to encourage new donors to register and post on their Timelines.
While the decision to become a donor is a very personal one, sharing it seems natural. Why wouldn’t we want others to know we’ve signed up, especially if it might motivate them to do the same?…
We’ve been a keen supporter of Like Minds from its foundations in 2009. Over the years 1000heads has presented keynotes, hosted lunches and attended summits, and we will be running an immersion session at the 2012 conference in May. However, we realise that while a number of ‘heads are actively involved, not everyone gets the opportunity to add their minds to the Like Minds mix.…
My name is Molly, and I am an introvert.
There, I’ve said it. Few of my colleagues or acquaintances would believe it. My job as Social Business Director at 1000heads demands some of the most ‘extroverted’ activities you can imagine – speaking at international conferences, running training programmes for clients, internal evangelism – activities that demand constant sociability and public gregariousness.…
We’re launching a grad scheme, offering three people the opportunity to work with us for three months, with the possibility of a permanent position afterwards.
Interested? Follow the instructions.
UPDATE – the grad scheme is now closed.…
I’m new to 1000heads, and have often been asked by family and friends what it is we do. Here’s just one example.
We recently supported the Nokia US launch of the Nokia Lumia 900. The brand and international rap superstar Nicki Minaj teamed up to host a launch of epic proportions, live from Times Square.…
