Mix It Up TV
Technologies: Actionscript, jQuery, AJAX, PHP 5, XML, MySQL, XHTML, CSS
As part of a change in art direction and a promotional push for the new year, Mix It Up Tv was created as a campaign microsite for all above and below-the-line marketing for Virgin Media. Adverts such as the one with Samuel L Jackson drove customers directly to this microsite.
Key concerns for the client were accessibility, ease of maintenance, SEO and user download times. Our solution incorporated an XML base (forwardly integratabtle with the client's in-house CMS) which was rendered to an XHTML format (via PHP) using jQuery and Flash to enhance the brand and user experience.
Why Choose Us
Technologies: Flash, Actionscript, XHTML, CSS
Accompanying the brand release of Virgin Media on Feburary 8th 2007, the Why Choose Us was positioned as a brand building/brochureware microsite. Acting as a brand introduction for all visitors visiting via the supporting online advertising campaign.
A fully accessible version was also developed alongside the Flash application, improving site SEO and ultimately attracting more visitors.
