Spread the Joy: A Little Augmented Reality and a Rosetta Snow Day

snowdayWhat do augmented reality, snowdays and New Orleans have in common?  A Happy Holidays card and helping to spread some joy from Rosetta.

Every year agencies of all types like to show their stuff with digital holiday cards.  Looking to raise the bar from last year, the Rosetta team is trying something new.  Our team took their passion for technology, social media and working for a good cause to dream up something fun – and we hope people find it to be a “different taste” from the usual agency card.  Grab your webcam and see what I mean.

Happy Holidays from Rosetta

What’s more joyful than catching snowflakes on your tongue?  If we catch a million snowflakes, on February 20, 2010, we’ll be in New Orleans providing some joy to local children at City Park: a snow day.  Read more at the card site, and I look forward to sharing stories of the joy from that event in a couple months.  Have a happy and healthy holiday season.

Note: We’ll be watching usage and looking to fix or upgrade features – would love your input on what we could improve.

UPDATE: The WSJ covered our holiday card today (“Stop Licking Your Monitor,” 12/15/2009).  My favorite quote is about “on-tongue recognition technology” from Rosetta partner Toni Hess.

Happy Holidays from Rosetta

Every year there is a round of agency e-cards that intend to dazzle – digital holiday cards that serve as a promotion vehicle about an agency’s capabilities and culture.  This year’s holiday card from Rosetta, my employer, is no exception.  In our case it shows a lot of our core values: work hard/play hard, have fun, and make it count.  Throw in a couple of inside jokes too, why not.  It gives some insight as to who we are.  In a year that saw us merging offices in New Jersey, New York, Denver (all Rosetta) and Cleveland, Chicago, Boston (all Brulant), this was a great way to show off the team working together.  Not to mention providing a few good laughs to our clients.

Have a very happy holiday and enjoy our Rosetta eCard… Take a look around the fireplace too.
