Jealous of WDDG
Interactive advertiser World Domination Design Group in New York — although ignoring all sorts of accessibility standards — has created one amazing package of goods at its portfolio Web site.
I am an absolute sucker for throw-back, retro looks, and the WDDG spares no ounce of 1940s newsreel-inspired goodness to publicize itself. Normally promotional bits bore me, but I watched every part of the the firm’s several-minute long demonstration on how it took Mr. Rumchild’s Acme Products to financial success.
WDDG’s short films show creativity that no amount of marketing blah, blah could ever capture. Although I think the company loses quite a bit of exposure in search engine results due to its all-Flash-driven presentation, I do think its reputation and word-of-mouth probably carry it a lot farther than enhanced search results would. If you look in its portfolio, you’ll see companies such as Burger King, Volkswagen and LEGO. I don’t think WDDG has problems attracting high-paying, high-profile businesses … But the movies lack play/pause controls, some controls aren’t as obvious, etc. … Really, I’m just a little jealous.
