Have you had too much fun in the sun? myTAN – a tanning advisor for the iPhone can tell you.

The strategy: In an effort to create awareness for Canada as an alternative holiday destination for the Australian sun worshipper, we developed a new mobile brand experience: With myTAN you were able to control your tan, track your overall sun exposure time, screen your tanning environment and do a skin exam on a regular basis. This long term benefit for myTAN users was linked to the functionality of exploring sunny beaches in Canada, the northern hemisphere, with less hazardous ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

iQueue – Global Queuing Network.

In an effort to create awareness for the Yukon Territory as a unique holiday destination, we developed a digital marketing campaign and established a new, fascinating mobile service for travellers – the iQueue© – a global queuing network. It turned out, that we created a new social movement: iQueuing.

The core campaign message was: “Discover the Yukon – vacation without line-ups.” We invited tourists across 7 key international markets who were waiting in long line-ups to get swopped by iQueuers so that they had more time to explore nearby areas. We made that possible by establishing a new real-time mobile service called iQueue. Behind that service was a network of friendly people managed and organized through a website and mobile mesg. platform. The app got featured just recently on BBC

Da Vinci would have died for this app.

Just recently, I thought about a new app for the iPhone/iPad and within this post, I want to share a four step creative process (or call it scenario design), that I followed to develop the idea and make it presentable.

Ok, so very briefly; this is how I usually sketch my first drafts. I write down the vision of an idea in one sentence (usually the main benefit) and give “the thing” a name.
