We’ve had a couple of interns from Vega in the office for a month and they’ve been kept very busy. We tried to get them involved with as many aspects of the day to day as possible, and also tried to throw them in the deep end whenever we could.One of the challenges we set them (and our permanent resident intern Kath) was a Facebook advertising task: create an ad campaign for Gorilla’s page. Each intern was given a budget of R250 and told that the campaign at the and of a week with the highest CTR would be crowned the winner, and could shift whatever tasks on their plate they weren’t too keen on to their fellow interns.

It was an interesting experience watching their approach to advert construction; where they placed emphasis and the strategy behind each advert. The results are below, with the Magical Henchman Steve Ilbury dominating Gareth and Kath by quite a comfortable margin.

Our Vega interns are done with us now, hopefully they had a cool experience and if anyone out there is looking to do an internship our Designer and Brand Voices have become quite accustomed to minions…

We’re all for supporting the movement to raise awareness about prostate cancer and funds to fight this disease, which is why we suggest checking out Duel Shaving, one of our newest clients. They recognise that hair is something that must be tamed, as well as embraced. We’re launching their introduction to social media with a campaign promoting Movember. If you’re a guy who needs an excuse to grow a mo, this is the mo’ment you’ve been waiting for.

Head on over to their Facebook page and sign up to start posting pictures of your glorious ‘tache for the world to admire. Duel will be donating R1 to CANSA for every Like the page receives in November, so make sure to get your mo’ bros involved in this great cause. We’ll be posting regular content, Movember related and otherwise, on Twitter too.

With nearly 5 million views, Team Jeep rider Evan van der Spuy is now world-renown for being the guy who got hit by a buck!

The seventeen-year-old was competing in a mountain bike race at Albert Falls Dam when a Red Hartebeest collided with him. Fellow racer Travis Walker was behind him and filmed it as it happened. Although you don’t see Travis in the footage, you do hear him. He will now forever be known as the ‘Holy Cow guy’!

Luckily, Evan only had a strained neck and was otherwise uninjured, thanks to his helmet. The video has made news worldwide. Check out Jeep Apparel for an exclusive interview with Evan on his battle with a buck.

In just 6 short years, Youtube has become the greatest source of video footage ever put together. With over 48 hours of video being uploaded and more than 500 YouTube links being tweeted every minute, it’s nearly impossible to ensure that your video will get any hits whatsoever, even considering that over 150 years of YouTube videos are watched every day on Facebook alone!

Finally there’s a tool to help! Introducing Magisto, a Magical Video Editing website that edits your home videos for you. “Amazing!” you say? Even more amazing is that there’s no one behind the process, it’s completely automated. Magisto uses it’s own specially designed algorithms to cut, chop and change any and all of your home made videos into amazing highlights packages, even adding a soundtrack. They’ve even managed to get the attention of the video hosting site and last week announced that they have partnered with Youtube to make video sharing even easier!

Pretty useful considering nearly 17 million people have connected their YouTube accounts to at least one social service.

You can sign up on their website, or login using Facebook or Google+.
