Life’s a box of Fireflies: Getting creative with Vine

It’s not just children who get creative with cardboard boxes - at Firefly, whilst experimenting with Vine and enjoying some down-time on a few Friday afternoons, we created our very own series called #thebox. We always think the best way of getting the most out of new social media tools and apps is to play with them. Vine’s an interesting one: since being bought by Twitter, the short video clip app has eclipsed Instagram, hitting 13 million downloads and rapidly increasing in popularity.

Only being a maximum of six and a bit seconds, it’s an easy tool to use to engage your social media following.  A phone, the app and a pinch of creativity is all that’s needed!

Here’s how it started at Firefly HQ….

Special delivery! The arrival of Yani is what kicked this off. Credits: Produced by Austin, acting by Yani and Austin, filmed by me.

“Can I just speak to a real person, please?” - the rebrand of the chatbot

How many times have we uttered these words in defeat during the festive season? After hours of trying to decrypt the magic combination of ‘yesses’ and ‘nos’ in a chatbot window while online shopping, desperately trying to reach the inbox of a human employee. Well, if you believe the AI industry’s announcements, come the new […] ...Read more

The rise of the tech “LinkedInfluencer”

LinkedIn turned twenty years old in 2023 and has undergone much transformation within its two decades. Once purely a place to find and list jobs, as well as connect with peers, the platform has morphed into something more akin to Instagram, or Facebook. It’s no longer just a professional networking site, but a social media […] ...Read more
