&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last year, 96,1 million SMS messages were sent on New Year’s Eve. And 50% of Belgians have admitted to frequently sending a random, impersonal SMS to their contact list. That’s why Boondoggle and bpost thought of a temporary new product: the SMS card. An SMS that is sent as a real card, with your personal wishes printed on it. An original alternative to the routine SMS. And above all, the ideal way to position bpost in the digital world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;display: inline;&quot; href=&quot;http://i-wisdom.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c3b2e53ef0147e0fb6e42970b-pi&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341c3b2e53ef0147e0fb6e42970b image-full&quot; title=&quot;Sms-kaartjes&quot; src=&quot;http://i-wisdom.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c3b2e53ef0147e0fb6e42970b-800wi&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Sms-kaartjes&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;For the design, Boondoggle and bpost were inspired by classic SMS lingo, with an end-of-year twist. Six cards were made, each with a unique emoticon on the back. Examples include the SMS angel, the SMS reindeer and the SMS fire arrow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do you send an SMS card?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply by sending an SMS to 3031 with the word ‘kaartje’ and following the instructions. Within 3 working days after sending the SMS, the SMS card will land in the recipient’s mailbox. Sending an SMS card costs 1,20 €. As easy as an SMS, but far more original. The campaign runs from December 15 until January 7.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Met de actie wil Electrabel traditionele kerst- en eindejaarswensen nieuw leven inzingen.<a href="http://i-wisdom.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c3b2e53ef0147e0fb77ba970b-pi" style="float: left;"></a> <a href="http://i-wisdom.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c3b2e53ef0147e0fb76be970b-pi" style="display: inline;"></a></p>

<p>Vanaf 21 december zullen elke dag, tussen 10 u en 22 u, een hele reeks Nederlandstalige en Franstalige muzikanten de wensen inzingen die online vanaf 9 u worden aangevraagd.<br /><br />Tussen 21 en 30 december worden dagelijks maximum 240 wensen per taalgroep opgenomen. Via webcams zullen de uitvoeringen van artiesten als Geena Lisa, Lennart Maes (ex-Lenny en de wespen), Fosco, Lenin en vele anderen live gevolgd kunnen worden.<br /><br />Als een wens die dag niet meer kan worden opgenomen, kan je ofwel kiezen uit een aantal leuke, vooraf opgenomen wensen of gewoon de volgende dag terugkomen.<br /><br />Sing-a-Wish is een sterk staaltje van technologisch vernuft en een originele manier om je kerstwens te versturen. Eén keer dat je je wens hebt ingegeven – in een stijl naar keuze: party, romantisch, relax of eindejaarssfeer - begint het nog maar. Zo krijg je onmiddellijk een indicatie van wanneer je wens wordt ingezongen. Mocht je dat moment missen: geen nood, je krijgt immers een e-mail met een “making of”-filmpje van de opname van jouw wens.<br /><br />Wie dus op oudejaar een originele wens wil versturen kan vanaf 21 december terecht op singawish.be. Maak van je beste wensen de leukste wensen.</p>
<p>Verstuur jouw wens op <a href="http://www.singawish.be">www.singawish.be</a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.gap.com/" target="_blank" title="GAP">GAP</a> launched it&#39;s new logo. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?&#0160;</p>
<p>I guess a lot of designers do. It has almost become <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/alissa-walker/designerati/design-haters-recent-redesign-revolts-and-three-more-way" target="_blank" title="fast company">a webclassic to rant about a new logo</a>. People don&#39;t like change and apparently a lot of designers and designafficionadas neither. Too bad since the designcommunity is perceived as open minded towards innovation and change.&#0160;</p>
<p>So when I read about the rant about the new GAP logo I thought about how <a href="http://www.duvalguillaume.com/news/" target="_blank" title="duval">DG</a> countered negative feedback on the new logo of the flemish radio, <a href="http://www.stubru.be/" target="_blank" title="stubru">Studio Brussel</a>. The Stubru fanbase was very found of the grungy look and feel of the <a href="http://www.iradio.be/files/logos/stubru_logo.jpg" target="_blank" title="stubru oud">old logo</a> and <a href="http://forum.politics.be/archive/index.php/t-2130.html" target="_self" title="forum">didn&#39;t like the new smooth logo</a>. So DG went out and put stickers with the new logo in the toilets of public venues accompanied by <a href="http://www.vespasius.be/poster_detail.php?posterID=559&amp;sex=male" target="_blank" title="poster stubru logo">a poster</a> that said: &quot;This is your chance to piss on our logo one more time.&quot; And magically, the criticism stopped.</p>
<p>A new logo is a lot about perception. Crafting a logo is, IMO, one of the hardest metiers in graphic design. Don&#39;t worry about the criticism. Think about what spin you can give the launch. What is the story about your new logo? Don&#39;t make it a story about how your company has changed and how your company has to be reflected in the new design and how your company blablabla...</p>
<p>All will be lost in the big rant. Plan your logo to be about what conversation it will spark, whether fans hate it or love it. Plan your logolaunch to be a conversation and not a press release on your company values.&#0160;</p></div>

<p>Modern brands that really get what lives with people today already know they should be authentic if they expect consumers to engage. Modern brands know they should go beyond the promise and proof what they stand for. </p>

<p>But consumers are smart. Just as much as people were wary of brands (s)talking through old skool mass media, people are still on their guard when brands act. Brand behavior is not about getting your act together, but it&#39;s much more about defining what you stand for and making sure it fits your brand character. People aren&#39;t stupid, they know when you are greenwashing. They know when you are trying to gather personal information to spam their facebookpages.</p>

<p>This presentation contains a very insightful quote: <br /><em><span style="font-size: 17px; "><span style="font-family: Georgia;">&quot;Remember, consumers don&#39;t judge authenticity based on actual behavior but, rather, the intention behind it.&quot; </span></span></em></p></div>

Jobat ondervroeg 9000 actieve Belgen over hun pensioenperspectieven en onderzocht hoe we best met een langere loopbaan omgaan. Ook de standpunten van alle politieke partijen werden gekaderd. Het resultaat leest u op 12 en 19 juni in het dossier “Langer werken. Anders werken.”&#0160;</p>

<p>Om dit dossier aan te kondigen, vertrok Boondoggle van de vraag die iedereen zich stelt: hoe gaan we zo&#39;n langere loopbaan volhouden?

 

Om het prangende van deze vraag te illustreren, stuurde Jobat een identieke tweeling naar een sollicitatiebeurs. Hun bedoeling: samen solliciteren voor dezelfde job, zodat ze voortaan om beurten kunnen gaan werken. Een verborgen camera registreerde de sollicitatiegesprekken. De reacties van de potentiële werkgevers ziet u in een leuk filmpje op <a href="http://www.jobat.be">www.jobat.be</a> en <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn4nTP7T8Y8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn4nTP7T8Y8</a>.&#0160;</p>

&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;België kwalificeerde zich niet voor het WK voetbal in Zuid-Afrika. Spijtig, want dat maakt het een stuk minder aantrekkelijk om naar het w&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ereldkampioenschap te kijken. Om die reden lanceerde Boondoggle voor Sporza een campagne die aantoont dat België wel degelijk meedoet. &lt;a href=&quot;http://i-wisdom.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c3b2e53ef0133f000d951970b-popup&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open(this.href,&#39;_blank&#39;,&#39;scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39;);

&lt;p&gt;Door middel van een serie tv-spotjes wordt bewezen dat de landen die zich wel plaatsten onlosmakelijk verbonden zijn met België. En dat er dus eigenlijk 32 Belgiës meespelen in Zuid-Afrika. U kan dus met een gerust hart het WK via Sporza volgen. Al gaat het misschien net iets minder spannend zijn, aangezien u nu al weet dat België wereldkampioen wordt. &lt;/p&gt;

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>Na successen in Cannes en op de Eurobest is Boondoggle er opnieuw in geslaagd om in de prijzen te vallen. Deze keer wonnen we een gouden Spinaward voor de baby olifant campagne, die er niet alleen voor heeft gezorgd dat iedereen in België intussen baby olifant Kai-Mook kent en erover praatte, maar die bovendien zo’n 300.000 extra mensen ertoe heeft aangezet om de zoo te gaan bezoeken. </p><p>De jury omschreef de campagne in het <a href="http://spinawards.nl/Organisatie/De_SpinAwards#URI=Nieuws%2Fnewsitem%2F31%2FJuryrapport_SpinAwards_2009">jury rapport</a> als volgt: </p><p><span lang="EN-US">&quot;An online campaign in optima forma. Boondoggle 
managed to develop an extremely clever creative strategy, which led to 
unbelievable results. High level creative execution (without making the 
obvious creative choices), combined with smart use of numerous online 
and social media tools, resulted in record-setting numbers of Belgians 
really engaged with the birth of the baby elephant. A very complete 
online campaign, without being ‘over the top’: every single detail and 
every single online tool really added value. The jury congratulates 
Boondoggle with this outstanding piece of online craftsmanship&quot;.</span></p><p><br />Boondoggle is daarmee het eerste Belgisch/Nederlandse bureau dat een prijs op de prestigieuze spinawards in de wacht sleept. Ons bureau won dan ook meteen goud in de zwaarste categorie van de online campagnes met maar liefst 9 andere genomineerden.

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>Uit een door Sociotoco gevoerd <a href="http://sociotoco.pressdoc.com/nl/611-rhinofly-en-boondoggle-zijn-de-meest-sociale-bureaus-van-nederland" target="_blank">onderzoek</a>, blijkt dat Boondoggle Amsterdam en Rhinofly de twee bureaus zijn in Nederland die het meest &quot;social media savvy&quot; zijn. Deze eretitel geeft ons een beetje een dubbel gevoel. Wat het absoluut niet willen zeggen is dat Boondoggle Amsterdam op de trein van de “social media marketing” gesprongen is. We hebben ook geen social media strateeg aan boord en blijven ver weg van het claimen van thought leadership over social media. Heel simpel, omdat wij geloven dat <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/Crusty/the-ultimate-be-all-end-all-one-size-fits-all-social-media-strategy" target="_blank">de enige relevante social media strategie</a> er in bestaat om je zo opmerkelijk te gedragen, dat anderen over je praten.&#0160; </p>
<br />Waar hebben we de titel dan wel aan te danken? Eigenlijk omdat we heel erg geloven in de kracht van het delen. &#0160;Delen is zelfs niet eens iets wat we bewust doen of tijd voor moeten vrijmaken. We archiveren gewoon alles wat we leuk, interessant of inspirerend vinden op publieke plekken. Inspiratie vliegt op onze <a href="http://twitter.com/BoondoggleNL/team">twitter accounts</a>, onze favorieten delen we op del.icio.us, onze presentaties op <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/search/slideshow?searchfrom=header&amp;q=boondoggle" target="_blank">slideshare</a> en de neologismen die dagelijks ontstaan op onze petproject blog (zoals het <a href="http://lexicon.boondoggle.eu" target="_blank">lexicon van de boondoggle-ismen</a>). We trekken onze passie voor het delen ook in de offline wereld door. Zo organiseren we unconferences, gratis events waarop we sprekers maximaal 10 minuten de kans geven om te vertellen over wat hen inspireert (<a href="http://www.whatmakesyouhorny.com" target="_blank">What Makes You Horny</a>). En af en toe nodigen we vrienden, klanten en bekenden uit voor Boondoggle&#39;s Blauwe Maandag Genootschap, waarop we een inspirerend persoon uit ons netwerk laten vertellen over alles behalve reclame. 
<br /><p><br />
</p><p>Waarom we dit allemaal doen? Gewoon omdat we het leuk vinden. Dat we er ook schoonheidswedstrijden mee winnen, boeiende nieuwe mensen mee leren kennen, lezingen door geven, opgebeld worden door nieuwe klanten,... Da’s mooi meegenomen. Een kleine anecdote: Onze eerste klant kwam bij ons terecht op deze manier: In 2005 gaf ik een lezing over web2.0. Deze gooiden we op deze blog. Vervolgens ontdekte Thuiswinkel.org de presentatie en nodigde me uit om op hun congres te spreken. Daar zat iemand in het publiek die werkte voor de Rijksoverheid en die vroeg of ik het verhaal ook daar op het jaarcongres van ECP-digibewust kon vertellen. En daaruit zijn gesprekken ontstaan, die leidden tot onze eerste grote opdracht, nog voor we een kantoor gevonden hadden. </p><br />Eigenlijk zijn we gewoon platte saleshoeren, vermomd als vrijgevige hippies. <br />

On 28/02/2010 Boondoggle once again climbed on stage. This time our agency was awarded Agency of the Year 2009 during the Belgian Merit Awards Night, organised by ACC and Media Marketing. That night our Baby Elephant campaign was also elected Campaign of the Year. A very nice reward for a remarkable 2009. </p><p>As a last goodbye to a glorious Boondoggle year a snapshot of all the blingbling collected in Knokke, Cannes, New York, Amsterdam and Brussels. </p><p><a href="http://i-wisdom.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c3b2e53ef0120a865eeb3970b-pi" onclick="window.open(this.href,&#39;_blank&#39;,&#39;scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39;); return false" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Boondoggle&#39;s 2009 bling bling " class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341c3b2e53ef0120a865eeb3970b " src="http://i-wisdom.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c3b2e53ef0120a865eeb3970b-500pi" title="Boondoggle&#39;s 2009 bling bling " /></a> <br /> </p></div>

The campaign captures Belgium’s top artists on a completely uninteresting moment e.g. Marie Vinck watering the plants, Annelies Verbeke coloring her nails, Jan De Cock cleaning his garden, Panamarenko baking a steak … After 25” seconds of boring activity, the campaign line ‘And when the artist does something interesting, you discover it on Cobra.be’ explains why they are doing … nothing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The campaign is executed in 4 TV commercials, 2 radio commercials, 2 print ads and a very interesting … or not, online campaign. 4 artists are posting – on a daily base – uninteresting tweets about their everyday life. These tweets appear in ad banners placed on different Belgian websites. In these banners, the same mechanism, a few uninteresting tweets, the campaign line explains the why of this useless content.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br clear=all&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The campaign was produced and executed in only one month. It was an intensive job to gather and shoot all the artists. The biggest challenge was to convince artists like Tom Lanoye and Annelies Verbeke, to twitter uninteresting content. The first tweets from Tom Lanoye were hilarious, which was not what we aimed for.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Check out the campaign on a banner, tv-set, radio or newspaper near you or via &lt;a href=&quot;http://prez.ly/wb&quot;&gt;our press release&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;

For a reminder : Nike Football Training is a two-day premium training session for a selection of young players who make the difference in their team. During the training sessions they are introduced to the latest training methods in contemporary football, on a physical, mental, tactical and technical level.</div><br /><div>The film was shot in Manchester and Amsterdam, the professional homes of resp. Kompany and Dembélé. The french and dutch versions were made to recruit for the Belgian Nike Football Trainings (both can be found <a href="http://www.nikefootballtraining.be">here</a>). The english version (featured above) can be found on nikefootball.com and Nike Football&#39;s official YouTube channel, where young people are recruited for Nike Football Elite+ Trainings with Guardiola, Zlatan and Fabregas.&#0160;</div></div>
