Online Buzz Coverage of the FA Cup Final
thrudigital helped ITV with their online buzz coverage of the FA Cup Final. We created a social application that was integrated into the ITV Football website which produced a cool visualisation of mentions of Chelsea and Everton players on Twitter.
The project received an unprecedented level of interest, with upbeat media coverage from around 50 online publications, including TechCrunch, ReadWriteWeb, The Guardian, PC Advisor and Computer Weekly. The online buzz around the FA Cup turned #facup into a global trending topic on Twitter.
Church of England
Lent Facebook application
Love Life Live Lent is a book published by The Church of England’s publishing company with a list of activities that you can do for lent.
In addition to submitting activity within the application, users can also share their activity through twitter which is all displayed in the same activity stream within the application.
TravelScoops
Bespoke Online Community
David Henderson approached us with a concept for an online community for those that love to travel and we created TravelScoops.
Every destination you can imagine is available in our database, all with latitude and longitude co-ordinates so that we can trace a users trip on the map. We’ve even got flags for each country to add an extra little touch.
To lower barriers of sign-up and to introduce extra viral features we’ve integrated Facebook connect allowing users to sign in using their Facebook details, easily invite their Facebook friends and post content back to Facebook.
Number 10
Facebook application
The communications team at 10 Downing street make very good use of online communities and social media and a Facebook application was the next step for them.
In addition to the latest news from their website the application also features their latest tweet, the latest photos from flickr and also the latest video from Number 10 TV.
The application integrates with several points of a users profile once installed and also makes the most of some of the latest features of the Facebook application platform.

Bespoke Online Community
James Steele is a pretty huge fan of Chelsea but he’s even more passionate about the amateur sports teams he plays for. He felt this market was particularly underserved online and in the run up to the Olympics he wanted to do something about that.
The site allows you to easily manage and communicate with your team, pick the squad for the upcoming fixture and to really kick-off the changing room chat you can even rate each of your teammates performance.
NHS
Know Your Limits Widget
For the NHS Know Your Limits campaign we were asked to build a widget that educated users on the number of units they drink in an evening.
The widget can easily be shared on a huge range of possible social networks, including Facebook, MySpace and Bebo.
Universal Pictures
Mamma Mia
For the release of the Mama Mia film thrudigital were asked to create a number of widgets and Facebook applications. We featured the trailer and the ability for a user to select their next holiday location and post a countdown to it on their social network profile, along with a weather report using Google’s weather API.
The campaign site has been removed so unfortunately you can’t see the widget any more.

Church of England
Email newsletter
While working on a Facebook application with The Church, we started discussing their email communications. We quickly learnt that, while they were very consistent, their design didn’t promote all their activities as well as it could and they had no way of tracking success rates.
The widget can easily be shared on a huge range of possible social networks, including Facebook, MySpace and Bebo.
