Last week I did something that I would have previously thought unimaginable. Instead of updating my old iPhone 3Gs to the latest 4s, I ditched it in favour of a Samsung Omnia 7 running the Windows Phone 7 OS. The reasons for such a bold move are many, but the main one boils down to me being a nerd. I wanted to play around with a new Windows OS and see what it was more...
Browser Wars

Following on from our post on modern tech buzzwords, the majority of these technologies all have something in common. They are all designed to run within browsers. However, all browsers are not created equal. Internet Explorer 7 will not operate the same as IE8. IE9 may be different to both. Chrome and Safari are both unique and also have totally separate standards more...
NAB continues to lead the big four

Social media is increasingly changing the way consumers make decisions and rely on user generated reviews to make their decisions. A brand acting on these insights is National Australia Bank, the first bank (and arguably one of our most innovative brands) in Australia to integrate social commerce within their site, where users can submit ratings and reviews of their more...

What started out as a way to say thank you to all of our staff at the end of the financial year has turned into the biggest event on the VJ social calendar. Last Friday we held our 5th annual Night of Nights. What is NoN exactly? Well, it’s kind of a piss-take awards night where we try to celebrate some amazing efforts by the VJ gurus over the course of the year, more...

Visual Jazz has worked with the Tesselaar Tulip festival for a number of years to bring to life their annual event in an explosion of vibrant colour, and this year was no exception.

One of the most exciting and important roles we play as an industry is to push boundaries, innovate, try new things and make the impossible possible. We all know about Facebook & Google's well publicised innovation programs (and of course VJ has its very own Code Innovation Competition) it was great news to hear ISOBAR (our global network) launch our very more...
Cannes Lions: Two months on, what did we really learn?
By kjenkins at August 18, 2011 | 4:35 pm | 0 Comment
It’s hard to believe it has been two months already, but between tearing a ligament in my knee and how busy we’ve been, time really has flown. By now you’ve probably seen the great work, had a cruise around some gold snatching websites and viewed a few TVC’s on YouTube. But Cannes is much more than just awards. It was the first year of Cannes being more...
IAB Awards last night

Last night I got along to the IAB awards with Grant, it was held at the Carriage Works in Sydney – which is kind of like Sydney’s lame version of Melbourne’s Fed Square. The omnipresent advertising awards MC, Adam Spencer, was host yet again, but made swift with the formalities, knowing that everyone really just wanted to get their gutful over at the bar. more...
