Carrot Creative Blog

Citizen journalism is the most informative innovation in the mobile space since the introduction of the camera phone, and our good friends at CBSEyeMobile are leading the way with their new application developed specifically for the iPhone. It’s already been featured on several sites including TechCrunch, Mashable, and TUAW since launching last week and is garnering fabulous reviews from all around the blogosphere.

We’re very excited to be working with the CBSEyeMobile team to build other amazing social network integration tools and can’t wait to see what else the team has up their sleeves.

We are thrilled to announce the Beta launch of SometimesDaily with Amanda Congdon. SometimesDaily is the newest online offering from Amanda Congdon, video blogging superstar and arguably one of the first successful pioneers in the video blogging realm. Amanda is known for her previous success on “Rocketboom,” “Amanda Across America,” and ABC News. And while her newest endeavor may offer a few similar elements from her previous successes, SometimesDaily is “an off-beat, interactive variety show exploring life’s themes through the inquisitive eyes of Amanda Congdon.” All of us are so grateful to work with Amanda and Oxmour Entertainment to assist in developing the online presence and web capabilities for SometimesDaily, and we can assure you that the innovative design and functionality of the SometimesDaily website is rivaled only by the shows vastly creative content. Be sure to tune in every day to SometimesDaily!

Today marks yet another potential scoring drive for Carrot Creative. I just got back from a meeting with the NFL (National Football League), yet I am still awestruck with the potential of working with a client that is solely responsible for our winter recreation (that being staring at a wide-screen TV or laptop screen for hours on end to watch the gridiron games). Although I can not further elaborate on this potential opportunity, I can say that the new logo for the NFL and the Championship rings for the New York Football Giants, both of which I got to see first hand at the meeting, are simply stunning.

After weeks of meetings, phone calls and e-mail correspondences, I am proud to announce that Carrot Creative will be working with MLB.com (MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL!) on their social community utility endeavors. Although I can not further elaborate on the specifics of this project, I can say confidently that this baseball season will be greatly enhanced by a new interactive, user-generated presence of MLB.com online. I can barely begin to describe the Carrot Crew’s excitement as we all grew up loving the game of baseball, and still have strong ties to friends, family and each other in part due to our love for the game. With MLB.com, and the variety of other great clients Carrot has had the pleasure of working with, we have found a way to work in what we love (Web 2.0) with clients we truly care about. Thank you all.

Well since Chris doesn’t want to brag about this project I guess I will. Chris just finished Art Direction for the HUE HD web cam. We teamed up with a West Coast 3D modeling company to create the final product. We are very pleased with the results and just wanted to share it with everyone.

Even with the new year still weeks away, 2008 is already looking O-mazing for the HUE HD Webcam and Carrot Creative. The HUE HD Webcam, a Clique Communications product, has made the front page of O, The Oprah Magazine’s, O List for the January 2008 edition. HUE continunes to receive praise for its compatibility with Macs and PCs alike, its high-quality sight and sound and its flexibility, but as stated in the O List, “The real draw is that it’s as cute as a button.”

I am thrilled to announce to all of the Carrot Creative staff, friends and family that the Clique HUE HD was named to Time Magazine’s “Best Inventions of 2007”. HUE HD joins the ranks of technology juggernauts Sony, Yamaha and Blackberry in this year’s “Tech Buyer’s Guide” section of Time.
