We are excited to announce the launch of Crate and Barrel's Ultimate Wedding Contest.

One lucky couple will win a $100,000 dream wedding package, and have their special day planned by celebrity wedding planner Jo Gartin.

“This promotion is a first for Crate and Barrel and it was essential that we select a platform that was flexible, scalable and reliable,” said John Seebeck, Direct Marketing Business Director at Crate and Barrel. “We are very pleased with the Strutta contest platform and the level of service we have received.”

“We are excited to be working with Crate and Barrel on this campaign,” added Strutta CEO Ben Pickering. “It is a great example of how Strutta’s contest API can be utilized to create a customized and integrated consumer experience.”

The "photo with story" contest continues through the next seven weeks, and the competition will be fierce. As of this morning, there are already over 2400 entries.

The clock is ticking...counting down to our public launch.

On Tuesday, April 15th (updated date as of April 10) the public will allowed access to Strutta, and so our crew is putting the final touches on the product, tweaking and adding features to make things just right. Once the site is live, we have a planned schedule of additional feature releases that will continually improve the game.

The wait is over.

The Strutta Office Lip Dub video is finally here. Continuing on a tradition that can now be referred to as a global meme, the crew from Strutta got together to make the best damned lip dub video on the web.

Directed by Strutta staffer Mark Freeman and starring our small but dedicated team, we present our take on "Blister in the Sun," by the Violent Femmes:

Last week we told you of our plan to grow "Launch Beards." Well, it's been close to a week now, and although some people started with a three-day-old shadow as a head start (Danny), most of us are showing some scruff. That is, everyone but me. I guess that's why I chose to pick on Trevor in this video, where we all proudly display our "progress."

To kick off the New Year, the Techvibes blog posted a story about Digital Media People to watch in 2008.
