THE CHALLENGE
In 2014, the curtain rose for a new era of late night TV. After 22 years as the host of The Tonight Show Jay Leno retired. Jimmy Fallon was officially appointed to take over the top rated, most coveted time slot in Late Night. CP+B was tasked with creating digital products to support Jimmy in his new role. But how do we take a 60 year old TV show and modernize it for today?
THE INSIGHT
Since 1954, we’ve tuned into the Tonight Show to make us laugh, get our fix of pop culture, and wind down for the night. Not just the show, but the act of watching the show is embedded in our culture. But the way we’re watching TV is changing. 88% of the US population uses a second mobile device while watching television and we knew from research that hardcore Jimmy fans are more likely to download and interact with an app. These two points suggested the need to define distinctive roles for the website and the App. The website needed to focus on easy consumption of content across multiple devices in a consistent manner, while the App needed to take on the role of engagement platform, creating a way for hardcore fans to participate in the show.
THE SOLUTION
Instead of thinking about the Tonight Show Web Site and Mobile Apps as support for a 60-minute television show, we thought about them as unique ways to deliver Tonight Show content for the world we live in now. We deconstructed an hour long show into it’s component parts. Breaking it down to it’s atomic level. Not just 3 minute video clips, but 15 second videos, 140 character tweets, single images, image collages, and GIFs.
We designed the website experience to be the platform where you consume content. The siteis responsively designed so the experience is consistent no matter what type of device you are on. Viewers can consume bits of content no matter where they are. The App experience is focused on hardcore Fallon fans, giving them a platform to participate in the show via, #hashtag challenges, video challenges and other content generating ideas Jimmy and his team come up with.

OVERVIEW
In the hopes of doing some real good in the world, CP+B and partners created an emergency broadcast system for the internet. We partnered with social networks to create a system where people can donate their feeds to a group that will tackle a major solvable world issue each year. Then, with a push of a button from that group, a tweet or post with a clear call-to-action will be dynamically pushed out like falling dominos to everyone’s feed who has subscribed. Hopefully this process creates enough awareness and engagement to overwhelm even the biggest problems.
Imagine if a billion people could be reached at the same time.
Imagine the problems you could solve with that scale of attention.
We started with clean drinking water.

How could Domino’s find people who have a passion and a talent for the unique skill of pizza making, and inspire those people to work for them?
Enter Pizza Hero, a pizza making game for iPad, that invites players to try their hand as pizza chef.
Players are trained and challenged to make nearly perfect pizzas by hand, from kneading dough, to spreading sauce, to sprinkling cheese, to placing toppings, to slicing pies. The game also allows players to order and then consume their pizza creation.
For the top players — those who exhibit top pizza making skills — Domino’s extends an invitation to apply for a real-world job offer, right from within the game.

Alarmed by a lack of physical activity amongst Canada’s youths, CCA and CP+B worked together to make something better: GoGoYu. This game was one of the first to translate real-world physical activity into the powering of a virtual character through a compelling story, with plenty of interaction and rewards fit for a kid.
Players wear a FitBit pedometer that tracks and sends daily step data to GoGoYu. The more active a child is in the real world, the stronger their character is in the game.
Players explore over 30 levels from around the world, take in over 200 nutritional and cultural facts, play fun mini-games, unlock hundreds of items and see a great story unfold as reward for their exercise.

Idea Box allows submissions for any other ideas related to Domino’s. We consider all of them, and the best and most popular ones might even inspire the next project.

OVERVIEW
For the launch of MDC’s Innovation Center in New York, they enlisted us to create a buzz-worthy lobby installation that would showcase the work and thinking coming out of their roster of agencies.
This installation had to be a central showpiece but not get in the way. It had to be rewarding to a single user, but usable by many. It had to show breadth and depth of talent, but not be overwhelming.
The solution accomplished all of these things and more.
We created a multi-touch, multi-user showcase on a Microsoft Surface table that allowed for streaming and browsing of content. Then when something interesting came up, the user could “flick” the content up to a screen that covered most of the wall for the details about and/or playback of that project.

Launching with Despicable Me, this platform gave real time translations of the on-screen Minion language, revealing an entirely new content experience that was impossible without the app.
This content was delivered based on a complex audio recognition and syncing system that allowed for communication between the movie and the app.

Our Experience Design team worked with the various stakeholders to think through the consumer experience, and to flesh out the network of digital properties that would enhance it.

In a world where everyone over Googles, over Yelps, and over analyzes every decision about their trip before they even go on it, we wanted to think differently for American Express travel. So we drew on culture tensions in creating Nextpedition—a custom-made mystery trip based on a traveler’s passions and interests.
First, the adventurer discovers their travel sign via the online travel profiler quiz. Then we book they trip from them as theywait for the adventure to begin. They won’t know where they're going or what they'll do when they get there. They might take cooking lessons in France, or trek to a hidden waterfall in Hawaii. All is unveiled to the traveler (and their companions) day-by-day via alerts from their custom designed mobile travel console.

Shocking Barack was an experiment to see if two people could re-trace the path that the big 3 auto CEOs took in 2008 to Washington (in their private planes), but this time with Brammo electric motorcycles for a cost of $4 per rider. The goal was to reach Obama and give him an electric bike as another possible solution to America’s transportation and pollution problems.
An online experience enabled the journey, enlisting social followers to volunteer couches, food, outlets and potential connections to Obama.
In the end they didn’t get to Obama but they did get a meeting with Steven Chu, the Secretary of Energy.

Whopper Sacrifice was a very simple idea. We challenged Facebook users to "sacrifice" (publicly de-friend) 10 friends on Facebook to prove their love for the Whopper. Do that, and we’ll send them a coupon for their own free Whopper.

In the end, the success of the venture wildly surpassed all of our expectations.

Woven in with the narratives on the tabloid-inspired site, we hid a series of coupons for our users to discover. The coupons required some hunting to find, and each week we would release a new online circular with new stories, discounts and different hiding places.

OVERVIEW
Maze Craze was a social networked game created while at ITP. Each player started at a different corner of the maze and the goal was to get to the middle first. Each custom built console could see a limited part of the entire game board and all consoles communicated with each other thru a Shockwave multi-user server.
I executed and designed every aspect of the experience including: game design, console engineering + creation, as well as the coding of the game and multi-user server.

OVERVIEW
This game was created as part of the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU. It was a group project, and I was primarily responsible for game design as well as supporting the lead developer with some coding efforts.
The game narrative had to do with a science teacher who has lost his class. Each level presents him with a puzzle to reach another missing student. He must move the blocks to reach the student, keeping in mind that each type of block has different properties. Make a wrong move and his class might never be together again.
