IAB Creative Showcase winner for May: The Feed from Getty Images by R/GA

Getty Images asked us to help them stand out in the intensively competitive editorial photography market. The aim was to stay top of mind for media organisations. Rather than write a broadcast campaign, we created a utility that solved a problem for these organisations and the people who work for them. We saw a chance to help Getty Images position themselves for the way that people increasingly consume media – in streams, in real-time, wherever they are, across multiple devices.This would have a three-fold effect – reinforce perceptions of Getty Images as an innovator, and open up new revenue streams for them with brands hungry for relevant content and make Getty Images’ content open and accessible for the masses in a channel they visit multiple times a day - Facebook.Over a three month period, a core Technology team of five people developed a product called the Feed. The Feed is a collection of services that allow Getty Images content to be automatically uploaded as needed via the Getty Connect API and distributed to Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.Further, we used the power of Twitter to listen to online conversations and post images from the most talked about moments of key events as they happened. This social listening algorithm has now been patented by Getty Images.The Feed from Getty Images automates the population of Getty Images’ clients’ news feeds in social. It does the job of a social content manager, listens to chat online and surfaces images immediately that are most relevant.The Feed uses Getty's Connect API to scans through the trending topics on Twitter, matching them up to the metadata tags in Getty's database and flowing in galleries of images of events even as they happen that other sites can pick up. There's also a Twitter account, @FeedMeGetty, which pumps out the most popular image of the top trending topic on the hour, every hour. If you tweet at it with a word, it will return a photograph of that word.

Using apps on his smartphone he is training for the gruelling ultra-marathon in the Sahara desert. This film tells how he lost his sight, the affect on his family and how smartphones have not only given him the independence to run and train alone, but also rebuild his confidence.To host these films and share them with people, Adjust Your Set designed and built a dedicated video player experience that hosts both the professionally produced content and user generated content integrated across multiple channels (carphonewarehouse.com, YouTube, Facebook) and devices (desktop, mobile and tablet). It enables people to upload their own smartphone photos and films with the chance to win fantastic prizes, as well as share via social media the ways in which smartphones have affected their lives.
