I'm aware I've been a bit quiet of late, and I just wanted to let you know that I - and indeed DFG in general - have not been sitting admiring the view from our window (although it IS
lovely). Rather, we have been v. busy working on our fabulous new site - further details of which will be coming ever so soon.
Part of that involves dragging ourselves into the 21st century. We are already on
Twitter as most of you are aware (just learning very slowly) but we are now also, as of this week,
PROPERLY ON FACEBOOK. Come and join us - make it look friendly and welcoming by telling us what you're up to! And maybe even help us learn how to use it!! Ahem...
In other news, we're very chuffed to learn that DFG Member and alumnus David Cornwall - aka
SCORPION TV - has been selected as a finalist at this year's MIPTV.
Scorpion TV, the recently established specialist content distributor been selected as the only UK finalist in the Ogilvy / Coca-Cola MIPTV Content 360 competition: "Engaging with teens through branded content for Coca-Cola."
The contest called for ideas that would help Coca-Cola brands engage with teens relevantly through branded content of all types, from a TV show, to a web movie series, a mobile application, or advergame. A record 189 entries were submitted and Scorpion TV is one of 3 selected finalists with its idea "The Win Win Show”.
The live pitch and winner announcement will take place on Wednesday 14th April at MIP TV in Cannes. The Grand Prize will be a €10,000 development contract to co-develop the winning idea further with Ogilvy for Coca-Cola.
Good luck David!
