We are collecting trophees and statuettes like crazy. The Communicator Awards earned us one gold and three silvers and for The Healthy Home, and more silver for both the Mobile Vikings and Rock Werchter websites. We’re cracking open a bottle, that’s for sure!
With the financial crisis reaching wuthering heights, finding a job becomes a mission more impossible than ever for young people. Pienternet asked us to create an online portal that provides those transit-people with some guidance in the big bad world called “the labour market”. Thanks to our witty designers, navigating vacancies, writing résumés and scanning your rights and duties becomes a piece of cake. Very tasty cake, for that matter.

It took Ecover’s brightest brains seven years to develop a brand new range of 100 % ecological products, called EcoSurfactants. Design is Dead’s brightest brains and greenest fingers designed the matching minisite in just a few weeks. The colourfull Flash-creation explains the EcoSurfactants’ production process and demonstrates just how green and clean they… well, eum… clean. An equally tasty spin-off site was created for celebrity über-housewife Tante Kaat, who was assigned to be the official godmother of the revolutionary new range.
Our Panasonic-mission was to develop a concept reaching out to the younger segment of battery users. Always keen on breaking boundaries, we took the promise of “energy” a level (and a continent) further, and launched an online competition with a very energetic prize: a citytrip to New York, including a thrill-ride in a world-record-holding rollercoaster. An energy boost unlike any Red Bull you’ve ever poured down your throat! We sure made those batteries seem a whole lot sexier.
While in history, vikings equalled destruction and barbaric battles, their modern offsprings fight for a far nobler goal: free mobile internet on each and every mobile phone! To support City Live’s Mobile Vikings on their glorious crusade, we designed them a mighty militant, mysterious website – recalling the good old Scandinavian superheroes. And the box housing the Vikings’ SIM card, is far from inferior to the nicest treasure chests.
In order to get people to join the TELE2 Club community, we created two über-cute and cuddly creatures: Teo and Leo. This charming twosome welcomes TELE2’s customers in a warm and comfortable webenvironment, filled with advantages and contests.
In a world ruled by K3 and Mega Mindy, bringing classical music to children is quite a challenge. Luckily, DeFilharmonie decided to team up with Design is Dead for the apparent mission impossible to make a website for children about their orchestra. We mixed, matched, animated and created a fun, playful and very intuitive discovery tour through the wonderful world of violins and wind sections. It earned us –amongst others- an honourable record in Weekend Knack magazine. Beat that, Mega Mindy!
As a well known budget operator, TELE2 never experienced any problems gaining new customers. But, with an audience made up almost entirely out of trained budget players, it is not the gaining but the keeping that turned out to be an obstacle. We mapped a road towards retention and set up a loyalty program called TELE2 Club, hosted by two charismatic characters –Teo and Leo. These two managed to give the brand a face, a voice and a stronger image, resulting in customer loyalty.
Food giant MARS decided to go 21st century style all the way. They traded in their formerly printed product information for professionals for a very nice, attractive and userfriendly Flash-site. From now on, veterinarians are just a mouseclick away from curing a cat’s diarrhoea!
