OUT OF TIME!
Continuum is THE newest, flashiest sci-fi series to hit the airwaves and its creators wanted to crash-start their storyverse across every other media channel too. With no time to spare, our creative team gave them both barrels. When the smoke cleared, we had created an eight-issue graphic novel, a mainstream blogger campaign, a compelling digital identity and solid social media bridgeheads.

RISE UP!
The Continuum television series featured an awesomely anarchistic time-traveling terrorist movement called Liber8: they kicked ass, took names... er, actually, it was mainly the ass-kicking. How could the audience at home resist the urge to play along? We designed a multi-week alternate reality game to let the average viewer take part in a nation-wide manhunt to track down the last terrorist standing.

WHO SAID ROMANCE IS DEAD?
Well, the videogame industry for one... when it comes to headshots versus heartaches, gamers tend to go for the splashier outcome. But what do they know? This companion game focuses on a story of lost love that is begging for John Cusack in the starring role. With hidden object gameplay that is a cross between the daVinci Code and Where's Waldo?, how can you resist spending a rainy afternoon unraveling its mysteries? You can't, that's how.

ARE YOU AWAKE?
We had to pinch ourselves when the chance came to create a one-of-a-kind mixed reality comic that merged mobile, music, animation and gameplay... somehow all within the pages of a 32 page pulp confection. How did we do it? It's part dream, part nightmare... but one born from years of working with digital comics that are wholly powered by social media madness. It's where we started and still what we do best.

You don\t often get an opportunity to build an entertainment property from the ground floor, but we had that chance with the story of Aaron Street, a small-time grifter who begins seeing things that just aren't there. Or are they? Our creative tame crafted this taut Guy Ritchie-esque thriller in partnership with our client, TDD Media Properties. The end result was a sexy and seamless transmedia campaign that gave this property and extra shiny finish.
