Bat Boy: The Musical is probably the only musical in history to be written with a special license from the Weekly World News. It’s inspired by an actual story in the tabloid, about a half-boy, half-bat discovered living in a cave. Cowie and Fox helped fuel the phenomenon by providing sensational creative and an incredible website.

We are pleased to announce the launch of Oru, an innovative new restaurant at Vancouver’s newest hotel, the Fairmont Pacific Rim. Oru, which literally means “to fold” in Japanese, is crafted around a central origami sculpture. Thanks to the interactive team at C&F their new website, just like the paper art they are named after, perfectly embodies their simple, yet multifaceted approach to traditional Asian cuisine. Local, sustainable and delicious!

The web development team at Cowie and Fox recently launched their latest and greatest interactive project: the 2010 Legacies Scrapbook. The 2010 Scrapbook, focused on strengthening arts, healthy living accessibility and volunteerism, uses innovative touchscreen technology to connect diverse communities from all over the province.

The interactive scrapbook, like the other touchscreen projects C&F has done for Quigg Group and Oru for Fairmont Pacific Rim, it is designed to accessibility standards and can be displayed publicly on a large scale, or privately on your own computer. It uses Flash, and it uses it well. It’s user friendly, search engine friendly and easily updatable with dynamic content drawn from a Content Management System. Those of you who are more technical will also appreciate that it’s deep-linking, mirrored to html content, programmed in ActionScript 3 with a backend api that integrates with a content management system built on the PHP Symfony Framework.

Because of all of the exciting events taking place in BC the site is always growing. By running the touchscreens off of a USB memory stick that is connected to a local database, the touchscreen version of the scrapbook can stay current by automatically syncing with the online version as soon as it’s plugged into an internet connection, making frustrating updates a thing of the past.

It’s awesome. But don’t just take our word for it, check out the video demo at “2010 Legacies Now” or launch the website by clicking here.

When Cowie and Fox joined forces with BC Dairy to launch a campaign for chocolate milk, we knew the results would be awesome. In February of 2010 C&F worked with BC Dairy to create Powered By Chocolate Milk, a brand that expertly represents their newly developed market category: chocolate milk as a sports recovery drink. Not only did this new branding opportunity provide C&F with a perfect platform to forge an online community, to promote the product, but it also allowed us to tap into the power of grassroots advertising.

As proud sponsors of the various athletics organizations around BC, including Canada~Snowboard, PBCM was thrilled to see some of their athletes on the podium this winter. Could it have had something to do with the restorative power of chocolate milk? We certainly think so.

When the up-and-coming social media company Wantsa came to us to design their website, they wanted to ensure one thing: that their product was conveyed clearly to their diverse users. The experienced creative team at Cowie and Fox knew exactly what to do, and began by evolving an inventive logo, brand and look-and-feel for their online presence. We took their complex multi-layered product and conveyed it simply, straightforwardly and effectively getting to the root of what social networking is all about, communication.

At BC Dairy they believe natural is best, and the team at Cowie and Fox couldn’t agree more. The “Buy Local, Eat Natural. Real Cream” campaign, developed by C&F, focused not only on the sales of cream in BC, but also on the importance of eating natural foods. And what better way to convince consumers about the benefits of Real Cream than to have them sample it?

As we travelled BC promoting Real Cream at a multitude of food expos it became increasingly apparent that the coupling of innovative marketing with a great product can’t help but equal success. Tasty, tasty success.
