One Method Digital and Design

Well, we finally got our 2009/2010 demo reel in order (figuratively and literally). It’s a collection of interactive work, motion graphics, some 3D goodness, print design, advertising and a little branding too.

Nokia wanted to do something different for the launch of the Nokia Nuron device.

In addition to creating a microsite and product lunch video, we designed and developed mobile demos for the device in retail.

To generate a buzz for the OneMethod-designed AmirJohnson.com , we decided to create and distribute a viral video featuring a dunk off between the Toronto Raptor’s Young Guns.

The only thing we like more than designing websites here at OneMethod is drinking beer outdoors. So when the opportunity to create a new website for Canada’s oldest independent brewery came around, it was a dream come true.

Our friends at Amoebacorp came to use with an awesome idea for the new Pop Shoppe website. We immediately said ‘Ya, we’re in’ and helped bring their characters and the Pop Shoppe world to life.

Welcome to the world of Pop Shoppe!

Nokia needed an opening video for an important presentation to a national retailer.

The video exceeded expectations, continues to be a powerful tool for Nokia and earned OneMethod an award at the 2009 Webbys.

MSN Autos wanted people to see how awesome their content was. To do that, we created an online contest where users had to search through MSN Autos content to find missing car parts and build a car, which became their entry into the contest.

For our third FanApp, we hooked up with a World Series Champion and a current member of the New York Yankees.

Introducing the Nick Swisher iPhone application, taking you on the field, in the dugout and behind the scenes with one of the MLB’s premier players.

For our second iPad app, we took on the task of creating a massive body of work that would act as a digital scrapbook for the entire career (up to date and 6 years into the future) of 5-time NBA All-Star Chris Bosh.

When faced with the challenge of introducing Nokia’s Ovi suite of services to consumers, we determined that the best place to start is where those actual services live: on the device.

Our end result was an interactive demo/mobile app that invites users to engage with a Nokia device and learn about Ovi in an interesting and relative way.

Here is one of our favourite product videos, a green screen production that conceptualized the Nokia E73 Mode’s “switch mode” feature.

While working with Sympatico.ca and a tight time-line, we recently created the first iPad app for a Canadian portal. This app has been described as a “must have for Canadians” and is currently free on Apple’s iTunes store.

First Ink is DVD featuring NBA all-star Chris Bosh as he navigates the most important offseason of his career.

The DVD includes a documentary, comedic shorts, interviews + more and was created entirely by OneMethod.

We started working with Jason from TargetVacations.ca about two years ago and continue to today. Our first endeavour was to rebrand and reposition the company through a positioning statement and tagline grounded in their fundamental travel beliefs. We then redesigned their logo to echo those same fundamental principals.

We are constantly on the lookout for new ways to communicate with consumers.

Hence our latest Bluetooth campaign with Nokia that we launched in the UK.

All Out War is an upcoming documentary about the breakdancing sub-culture.

The film and its brand were created by OneMethod’s own Rob Pilishowski and have since received a refresh from the OneMethod Team.

After completing Chris Bosh’s iPhone app, the first iPhone application for a professional athlete, we needed a way to let the world know it was available. We ended up creating a viral video campaign that helped fill the Apple store and set off thousands of downloads.

Within OneMethod, we have a group of ‘digital socialites’ that specialize in social activation.

This group is called HobNob.

OneMethod was just nominated for three Webbys – one of which was with our friends at Amoebacorp. Why is this important?

2009 was a big year for OneMethod. It included a bunch of firsts (mobile apps, generative art, retail design, and even a documentary) and definitely set up a huge 2010.

Here are some of our milestones from the year:

Each year, we showase the work we’re proud of from that year – and we put it in a reel. This is the work from 2008, including interactive, print design, branding and advertising.

We consider ourselves idea junkies here at OneMethod. We treat every single project, regardless of scale, with the same creative drive.

Every year, agencies battle it out to see who can come up with the funniest holiday card. And each year, OneMethod develops a holiday card/campaign/gift idea that may not always be funny, but is always rooted in a strong, conceptual idea, one that will demonstrate OneMethod’s abilities and creativity, and something that will no doubt bring a smile to our clients’ face.

FolkwayMusic, a guitar retailer and repair shop in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, has been working with us for almost five years now, developing true-to-brand advertising.
