FEATURED WORK

Project: Dove Rich Media Creative

Client: EyeWonder

 

Have you the cojones** to be a creative lead?

July 1st, 2009

Colossal Squid has only met two people on the planet who can cover off on this one. Might you be the third?  We’re looking for one more creative lead to join us in Chicago.  A creative lead is an interactive ad agency creative director who can concept and lead great creative across all digital channels (and any other channels germane to the creative).  You will own, concept, and drive the big idea (or small, smart ones) across a big brand engagement and be a trusted partner to your client.

You’ll need a minimum of five years experience as a creative hotsy-totsy trailblazer at the CD level at an agency we’ve all heard of working on brands we also know. We offer satisfying work, talented peers, and all the root beer you can drink.  Iconoclasts and malcontents welcome.

Click here to apply.

**metaphorically speaking
Colossal Squid Industries is totally an equal opportunity employer.

Cannes you dig it?

June 25th, 2009

In discussing favorite short lists, ours is the 2009 Cannes Cyber Lion for Games. We made the Shortlist for our three exceptionally insanely challenging Flash AS3 beasts.  Test your ingenuity here.  Thanks again to our good friends at Fallon for bringing us along.

This is smoking hot awesome.  Thanks France.

SoDA has humbled us beyond words ...

June 9th, 2009


 

Count us in.  The Society of Digital Agencies (SoDA) has honored us with an invitation to join their merry band.  This is really awesome news and we’re pretty jacked to have been considered for membership.  

SoDA is the worldwide voice of digital marketing professionals with a mission to advance the industry through best practices, education, and advocacy.  The annual Digital Agency Performance Benchmark survey, unConferences, and a bunch of other stuff.

Check back here from time-to-time for more on SoDA.  You can go to the source at the following links:

Attention Kmart Shoppers.

May 7th, 2009

 

Colossal Squid Industries is proud to share the news that Kmart has selected us as digital agency on a new series of social media initiatives.   We’ve been collaborating closely for the past couple of months on a number of projects you’ll see throughout the year.

We’ve been a little light on hard news on this site.  Now you know what we’ve been up to.

Oh – and check this out when you get a moment.  Clearly a distant cousin of The Squid (from the better-looking side of the family).

We look good in Dickies.

May 4th, 2009


So will you.  Our friends at Mullen asked us to lend a hand in the redesign of Dickies.com.  Dickies are jeans to some people. To us Dickies is the front end of an eCommerce retail store that reflects the Dickies enthusiast.  So whether you’ve competed in the X-Games, or you’re an average working stiff just run over by a skateboard - Dickies is your brand and we’ve got it looking good at Dickies.com

IN SHORT

Colossal Squid Industries is an independent digital creative agency. We help extend brands across fragmented digital channels. Interactive, social, branded games, augmented reality - we call it all digital adverstuff.

We’re neither a traditional ad agency nor a production company. We’re more of a technological secret society, a confederation of interactive craftspeople hell-bent on creating staggering online work for our clients.
