Metafetch allows users to collect images, text, videos, screen captures, tweets, files, and links; and organize everything into collections, easing the process of information collecting collaborations. Contents are also archived in Metafetch for future use regardless of what may happen to the website it was fetched.
Metafetch was brainstormed, designed, and developed by XOlator using browser extensions, Rails, and much patience. It is still in private testing. Signup for an invite to see more.
$50 Campaign
Ideation; Print, Web, and Exhibition Design; Social Media Strategy; Photography and Videography
Over 100 students of the Circle of Peace School in Kampala, Uganda, were asked to draw what they would buy with $50. With Givology, a non-profit organization, we created an online gallery and physical exhibition in New York City to sell each drawing and photo portrait for $50.
We also produced a well-received social media campaign by using Facebook, embeded video viral emails, and word-of-mouth marketing. $10,000 was raised through sales – 100% of the funds went to the school. The website generated over 100,000 visits and the online video over 50,000 views in two days.
