Happy Holidays from Memelabs

Only seven sleeps until Christmas, and what a fantastic year it’s been here at memelabs, both in terms of our own growth, and the wonderful clients we’ve worked with.

Memelabs expanded to include photo contests. Our first, with The Block, celebrated Vancouver’s Main Street neighbourhood. Cellular South followed, with a challenge to contestants to design their own netbook wallpaper.

2009 also saw the debut of memesuite, an agency toolkit with solutions for audio-visual delivery, contesting and client database management. Memesuite’s arsenal combines memelabs with memeserver, a robust professional video server, and minimeme, a turnkey contest solution with rapid deployment and client-friendly CMS.

We’ve had the privilege of working with some really amazing companies and organizations this year. While it’s hard to narrow them down, three contests stood out: The Gap’s Ultimate Happy Hour, Okanagan Spring’s Sponsor Me Spring, and Movember. We’re thrilled The Gap used memelabs to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Sponsor Me Spring’s provision of party supplies was an excellent means of brand engagement. And close to our hearts was our contest for Movember, a charity event that spreads awareness of male cancers under the belt — which challenged us to document moustache growth during November.

Thank you all for your sensational videos and hilarious comments this year.

Clickz writer Tessa Wegert just published an article on ‘Video Contests That Engage‘. The article covers the issues that companies face with advertising recall retention rates of traditional forms of online advertising and that web users prefer user generated video over video ads. She finds that the solution to this is for companies to engage in video contests.

Memelabs gets some great coverage in this article. She profiles two of the contests that we are currently hosting – The Little Penguin ‘Pick-up Project‘ and GardenState Life ‘Expect the Unexpected‘. Go check it out, it’s a great read.
