“The value of an idea lies in the using of it“ said Thomas A. Edison. It is extremely satisfying to see yet another idea, submitted through BootB, come to life. Tecnolink has implemented the winning Solution submitted by gug!
Tecnolink’s 2010 advertising campaign is up and running on the streets of Florence: “Se hai il pc piantato non aspettarti buoni frutti”- the EN equivalent is “If your PC is stuck in the mud, don’t expect your work to bear fruit”.
You can not only see it but evaluate it online. Please note that Tecnolink’s website is available only in Italian - however marking the creativity from 1 to 10 doesn’t require any language skills so feel free to have your say!
“We were very pleased with the responses we received , it was great to have so many different Solutions all of which helped us approach the project from a more creative aspect internally. We will definitely be using BootB again“ said FirstCare ’s CEO.
Great news isn’t it? Now let’s see the winning Solution submitted by Salarrue. Make sure you click on the image to see how FirstCare’s case studies will look like in the near future.
Eye catching indeed, isn’t it?
BootB is proud to present its new enhanced Registration and Profile systems, available starting March 20, 2010. Back in December 2009 we promised to improve the BootB user experience, and thanks to the efforts of our tireless programmers, this is just one of the many improvements we’ll be implementing in 2010.
The online Registration System has been significantly upgraded, offering a simpler, more convenient process. For our longstanding users, you can feel more confident than ever recommending BootB – the Republic of Unlimited Creativity – to your peers. Spread the word! The broader the BootB network becomes, the better it will work for everyone!
Our previous Profile System will make room for this new system. An upcoming release organizes user data into tabs, neatly structuring the “My Profile” page. Here is a brief overview:
Public Profile: We’re always curious to learn more about our users. We strongly encourage you to complete your public profile and upload an avatar that will put a recognizable “face” on your username. This is an opportunity for Brands to show off their logos and for Creators to express their creativity! You’ll see that we’ve even included scores for each field in this section.
Manage Account: Here you can change your BootB password, email and interface language.
Legal Data : Filling out this section is a requirement for using the platform: Brands cannot start Pitches and Creators cannot publish Solutions until they’ve filled in this section of their Profile. This is because everyone working through BootB is protected legally (respectively the Brand Agreement and Creator Agreement), and we must have accurate information about the people we’re doing business with. This applies to all our users, including Brands and Creators who have already worked with us in the past.
Manage my Brands (Brands only): This section enables companies to manage multiple brand names and/or products under the same account. You can connect a Pitch to one of your additional brand names, or start a new Pitch as “Anonymous” when you want to keep your identity a secret.
Our tech whizzes have taken every precaution while implementing this new Profile System. However we encourage you to verify your data after March 20 to make sure the transformation has gone smoothly.
Don’t be afraid to tell us what you think! On the off chance you encounter bugs or abnormal software behavior, please contact us at info@bootb.com.
Last but not least, we want to take this chance to let you know that we will be working late into the night on March 19 to implement these new Registration and Profile Systems. While we do so, the BootB website will be unavailable to the public for roughly 2 hours (11pm - 1am GMT). We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause, and we look forward to seeing you online starting early on March 20!
There was no small feat as 25 countries were represented in Lampo’s logo restyling competition – 284 Solutions were submitted in total and we have now the approval from the shortlisted Creators to share with you their “almost winning” proposals.
Let the Creative Solutions parade begin! The order is arbitrary.

The one that stood above all in the eyes of the Italian zippers producer was created by Tumitu – we will have to wait a little bit more to see the winning Solution but … we can see a short video version of his interview. Special thanks to Federico Cembalo for post production.
