Legendary Toronto real-estate magnate Brad J. Lamb has moved to a brand new building, featuring 3 interactive displays designed by Pixelcarve. Working with Johnson Chou, who designed the new space and conceptualized the project, the screens present new and resale properties in an innovative and revolutionary way. Users walking by his office on the street can use 1 of the 3 touchpad controllers to navigate through a comprehensive listing of properties, seeing high resolution images, location, description, price, agent, etc. It allows Brad Lamb’s office to showcase their properties in a far more interesting and comprehensive format than the usual clipboard.

About The Davey’s

The Davey Awards is an international creative award focused exclusively on honoring outstanding creative work from the best small firms worldwide. The 2009 Davey Awards received over 4,000 entries from ad agencies, interactive agencies, production firms, in-house creative professionals, graphic designers, design firms, and public relations firms.

The largest and most prestigious awards competition exclusively for the “Davids” of creativity.

David defeated the giant Goliath with a big idea and a little rock – the sort of thing small firms do each year. The annual International Davey Awards honors the achievements of the “Creative Davids” who derive their strength from big ideas, rather than stratospheric budgets.

Wink Intimates Founder Andrea Clair and her bevy of beauties invaded the Dragons’ Den on Wednesday night. As one of Canada’s hottest shows, the attention to Ms. Clair’s innovative new business bra line certainly had an extremely positive effect on her website traffic and sales. Also interesting to note, almost 100% of the new visitors to the Pixelcarve built website also clicked through to check out who designed it. Pixelcarve’s traffic that night matched Wink’s almost user for user.

So how did Andrea do on the show? Well, although the male dragons had some serious moral objections to a bra that hides cleavage, Arlene, the one female dragon, loved the product and recognized it as a brilliant solution to a very common problem. Arlene Dickinson made Wink Intimates an offer, but as is common for the show, the cost of equity was too high and Andrea respectfully declined.
