Way back when (a.k.a. 2008) it was all the rage to offer people the chance to take over a brand's profile photo on Facebook for a day or week.  And back then maybe a few thousand or ten thousand people may have been a part of your 15 seconds of photo fame.  Now, fast...

Forgot to write about this one when I first heard about it - but still a great one to check out.  This one is from our friends at Intel - a brand that has been traditionally focused on purely function product attributes - e.g., faster, better.  Now with their "visibly...

I'm a huge fan of the growing use of projection mapping (see the fun Hot Wheels had a few months back here).  So was thrilled when a friend sent me the video below - it's very cool projection mapping but adding a slight physical element with foreground and background...

Ryan Peal

I'm Ryan and I recently just landed back in the States after spending 5+ years living and working across Asia-Pacific. I recently was the Director of Ideas & Imagination in the Australia office of Momentum, one of the world's most kick-ass marketing agency. And prior to that I was the Asia-Pacific Creative Director for Hill & Knowlton, one of the world's most kick-ass communications agency. Now I'm just being Ryan for a few months until I decide what fun to do next - stay tuned.

As always I'm constantly on the look-out for what's new on lots of fronts, seeing life as a big chemistry experiment, mixing in new innovations, throwing in some emerging technology, bubbling up some culture trends for the base and seeing what catches on fire. Let's get it on!

If you just can't get enough of me find me on Twitter, or on LinkedIn.
