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.

IDEA: 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.
