The Yelp! Contest
It was a simple contest really: write a review on Radar’s newly-created Yelp! page and enter to win a FREE iPhone 4. Five people wrote excellent reviews for Radar (most of which got filtered by Yelp’s failed filtering system), all five names were put into a hat and one name was drawn. The winner of the contest was Brent Gudgel who will receive the new phone once it hits the streets June 24th.
Brent tweeted this once he realized he won the phone:
Thanks to everyone who wrote a review. We really do appreciate it. Click here to visit Radar’s Yelp page. Stay tuned for more Radar giveaways.
DIRECTV Revolution 2010
For the last few years, DIRECTV has invited 2,000 of its dealers to Dallas for a three-day conference that features fabulous dinners, world-class entertainment, engaging keynote addresses where new products & features are launched and informative breakout sessions. This year, Radar was tapped by The HAND Company to provide the following services:
General Sessions:
- Radar handled show direction and stage management, created all of the showflows, managed all the music and PowerPoint presentations played in the room as well as all of the media that played on the screens in the 28,000 square foot ballroom.
- Radar’s creative team took the SVP of Sales and put him in the movies with a video that helped kick off the second half of the general session.
- Radar also produced an on-site highlight video that played on the last day featuring pics & videos from the conference.
- Radar produced five genre loops featuring adventure, musicals, horror, sci-fi and classic movies that played throughout the party.
- Radar created 4 green screen areas that allowed guests to insert themselves into four movie trailers: Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes, The Hangover and 2012 (all movies currently available on DIRECTV Cinema Studios).
- We also took three camera feeds along with several playback sources and ran them through an Encore video system to project images onto six screens in the 75,000 square foot space.
- After the event, we setup a website where guests could view & download pics from the event and, using passcodes made only available to them, view their movie clips. Radar’s team handled the email distribution, the creation of the website and all of the photos taken on-site.

If you have no idea what SXSW is, then keep reading:
There’s no doubt South by Southwest is a major event: SXSW is the highest revenue-producing special event for the Austin economy, with an estimated economic impact of at least $110 million in 2008. With more than 1,400 performers playing in more than 80 venues around Austin over four days, SXSW Music is really why people come here. But over the years, SXSW Film has become one of the world’s premiere film festivals while SXSW Interactive has attracted a strong following among web creators and entrepreneurs. SXSW Interactive’s focus on emerging technology has earned the festival a reputation as a breeding ground for new ideas and creative technologies. Twitter launched at SXSW Interactive in 2007.
