xBlog: The original visual thinking weblog

Hello AIGA Shift 7 visitors!

Below are the links of the case studies featured at XPLANE | Dachis Group’s November 17, 2011 presentation at AIGA Shift 7 in Portland.

1. EXPLORE INTEL
The community had concerns about the environmental impact of Intel’s Rio Ranchero, New Mexico plant. We worked with Intel to design a website that transparently communicates key environmental information (click this link to view). It’s updated hourly and there are videos, links and a webcam providing additional info about the facility and the data.

2. LEVI’S WATERTANK
To help Levi’s demonstrate its commitment to water savings and raise awareness of its new line of eco-friendly Water<Less products, we created a multi-channel Facebook, microsite, and in-store contest using simple, compelling game mechanics to educate and challenge fans to take small but meaningful actions to help the global water crisis. Each action was rewarded by Levi’s contribution of clean water to communities around the world.

• 450,000 active daily users
• Translated in 10 languages
• 4 million “Likes” in 2 months
• Levi’s donated over 200 million liters of clean water

3. IHG GREEN ENGAGE
This three-minute overview animation is being used to drive adoption and usage of IHG’s Green Engage program, which helps individual hotels analyze their energy usage and devise action plans to reduce their environmental impact.
