Translated as ‘For the children’s best, do you dare to think the worst’, is a campaign created by McCann Norway for the children’s welfare charity Stine Sofies stiftelse.

Aimed at raising public awareness of our responsibility to all children and questioning how we often feel we shouldn’t get involved when we see something amiss with a child’s welfare. The site prompts you to take action in a surprising way.
I worked alongside the team at McCann Norway, Paradox films and Christopher Einarsrud and was responsible for the design and interactive direction of the website.

Being from Rochdale co-operation is in my blood, so I joined Mill Community. Set up by Liz Birkbeck and Claire Martin, fellow Rochdalians who have been at large in the world (London & Manchester) being generally entrepreneurial and smart for some time now.

The model is simple – Mill works with the best freelance talent around and brings them together for projects thus keeping everything fresh and particular for whatever is in hand. Doing it this way avoids all the rubbish aspects of a full time employed team sitting around complaining about what they have to work on and getting squeezed into doing stuff not right for them and not right for the client. From my point of view having the high velocity networked powers of Liz and Claire doing the things I suck at means that potentially we are all gonna be happy campers.

Looking forward to future collabs Mill style.

We built Frankenstory earlier this year, it’s an online writing game – you write the first part of a story in 40 words or less and send it on to your friend… the twist is they can only see the last few words you wrote! They write the next part and volley it back to you. End result is a weird and wonderful collaborative story.

So a few months after launch we realized Frankenstory was a hit and we wanted to find a way to showcase some of the stories people were writing. We tried a “Best Stories” list but decided the idea of a “best” or a “worst” story was nonsense, how can one surreal story be better than another? This game is about having fun regardless of how good a writer you are. We ditched the “Best Stories” list and invented the Frankenlab. The Frankenlab is written by the eminent Dr. Emelius Frankenstory, here he dissects the stories which catch his eye and showcases them in the Lab. He gives you advice and inspiration on writing your own story too.

Frankenstory and Frankenlab are bought to you by Mike Stenhouse, Antonio Gould, Nick Lockey and Suzie Webb (that’s me) and are open now for your writing and reading enjoyment.

Frankenstory is a bit like consequences, or exquisite corpse (the old surrealist game).

It’s a writing game you play with a friend – collaborative stylee. We (me, Tone and Mike) have just made it and have put it out there ont’ worldwideweb in it’s embryonic form to see how it grows up with the help and input of you lot!

Go and try it out for yourself.
