To launch Stride Sour Patch Kids gum, we wanted to take people behind the scenes to show them exactly how we turned them into gum.

Car noises are scary. Not just because most
people have no idea what they mean, but because you’ll probably be mimicking
that sound to a mechanic in the near future and that’s no fun. This app solves both of these problems.
EXECUTION: Enter the make and model of your
car. When it starts making that noise again, hit listen and the app will analyze the sound. It will then provide a diagnosis, giving you a
better idea of what your car’s trying to tell you and what to do about it.
IDEA: When people travel around Europe, they want to see it all. But how much do you really see 32,000 feet up, or sitting beside a giant 18-wheeler for 4 hours? But riding the train, you’re right in the thick of it. The beautiful countryside you always hear about, the charming villages, the lovely vistas – it’s all right there. Because when you ride EuRail, getting there is half the fun.
EXECUTION: The EuTour app by EuRail is a photo-journal, tour guide and travel companion all in one. Passengers can use the app to upload photos from their train ride. Using the photo's geo-tag, they'll be placed on a map and made accessible to other users who are planning their next trip, or already on it. For users aboard a train, they’ll be able to receive notifications about approaching locations. For example, a beautiful mountain range coming into view out the right side of the train, or a lovely town they’ll be going through in about 10 minutes.
Ultimately, it’s about enhancing all the best things about train travel, turning it into a more memorable and engaging experience.
