So there’s been a lot of chatter over the last few days about Ad Age’s reporting on the kerfuffle between Big Spaceship and BBDO over the Lionz that HBO’s “Voyeur” campaign won at Cannes. People naturally keep asking us what we think of the whole affair.

Okay! Now that Cannes is over, we have some big news for you!

The Barbarian Group is supremely happy to announce that one Mr. Noah Brier has joined the company as our Head of Planning and Strategy. Noah is a good friend of ours, we’ve known him for a while now and are super happy to have him on board full time.

Moodstream

So last night was the big Webby Award debut of Moodstream, our new project with Getty Images. Last night it debuted at the Webby Award Film and Video Awards after party here in New York at the Angel Orenz Foundation down in the LES.

This thing is so awesome. It’s so awesome! You gotta try it.

What is Moodstream? It’s a concepting tool. The modern version of the fireplace. An interactive art piece. TV for the future. It’s a website we created for and with Getty Images to showcase all of their offerings – still, video and sound – and inspire interactive creatives. And it’s really, really fun to use.

Oh, AND, it’s in .NET. I mean, come on. How hard core is that? Anyway mad props to Kim and Mike P and Shelby and Renee.

Nice writeup in the New York Times today about CNN Shirts, and they name-checked us! Many of our projects have been featured in the Times through the years, but rarely do they actually mention us, so this is an honor!
