While I don’t usually write about myself on here, I’m very pleased to announce the launch of THE SWARM, my new venture that will be offering mobile consultancy, multi-platform content production and creative workshop design and facilitation. A full(er) website will launch soon.
Please check out the site and get in touch if you’d like to work together.
Yes, this means I’m leaving the BBC – officially in the early Autumn – after 8+ great years here. I’ve learned alot, had a great time and now it’s time for my next adventure.
BBC Mobile has announced that it will be providing exclusive content to audiences as part of BBC Electric Proms 2009. You can check it out in the promo video below:
To do this, our Audio & Music team worked with Dizzee Rascal to provide his fans with the chance to play his samples and mash up his songs using a mobile soundboard. The application can be downloaded from the BBC Mobile site, or accessed by texting ‘player’ to 88111, and includes samples from some of his signature tunes.
The soundboard is live now to the majority of mobile phone owners, although not every handset can be supported. This application will join elements on the mobile site introduced especially for BBC Electric Proms including exclusive interview audio, photo galleries, wallpapers, set lists and Twitter updates during the gig.
These new features, in addition to the recently introduced radio network pages and the increased personalisation aspects to the BBC mobile homepage, are all intended to enable audiences to stay connected to the BBC wherever they are.
