ADMA @fter work - 3D Social Networking, Adver-Gaming & Mobile Flash
14, 21 & 28 March 2007
Hong Kong, Shanghai & Singapore

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO NETWORK WITH LIKE-MINDED INDIVIUALS

Heard the buzz about Second Life? For brands and their agencies seeking a more engaging online interactive with end users, 3D social networking is the next big thing. In this new 3D environment, creative opportunities abound and campaigns can highlight products in an interesting new way, whether they be in fashion, media, FMCG, electronics or other segments. Already, brands are starting to jump on board, recognising the potential of this new segment.

Frenzoo is bringing to life a new 3D Social Networking service specifically targeting the youth market across Asia. Listen to Simon Newstead (in HK) and Eda Chow (in SHG & SIN) tell us how Frenzoo offers users a cool new online experience, one in which they can express their creativity in a rich 3D environment and chat and share with friends in a fun and direct new way.

This will be followed (in HK & SHG) by Napoleon Biggs of Game Guru who will speak on "Games as an advertising vehicle? Are you serious?". Game Guru connects brands with online communities either via sponsoring popular multiplayer games or creating branded casual game environments.

Finally, mobile comics are about to overtake traditional sources of mobile content downloads in Japan. In this talk, Andrew Harris (in SIN) and Graham Merrett (in HK) examines the growth of mobile comics as a key mobile content channel and the opportunities this offers brands wishing to reach a target audience. They will also present their design and implementation of the ‘Comicatch’ mobile comicservice developed jointly with Tree & Me and Bell Velocity.

In Shanghai our third speaker will be Ravi Shankar Bose of Fugumobile, a fast growing mobile marketing and gaming company. They have developed a platform that allows brands to stream banner advertising into mobile games (much the same way as is done on the Internet). These ads can be streamed based on a number of parameters and of course can be tracked and evaluated in metrics that a brand owner can easily grasp.
