Game on! May the best agency win in the Ping-Pong Hangout
Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Your team landed that big auto account -- but then the agency that poached your most promising young creative director last year swept the Clios with a brilliant mobile campaign that you wish you’d thought of first.
Want to find another way to win? Well have we got the competition for you: This week at
Creative Sandbox NYC
, which celebrates how technology is shaping culture and storytelling, we announced the launch of the
Ping-Pong Hangout
brought to you by Google+. Using this Hangout app, you can play a game of Ping-Pong with an opponent by using your face to control the paddle.
Boost your status in your agency circles by going head to head with Ad Land’s finest in the world’s first Ping-Pong Hangout Tournament. World’s first? You haven’t heard that since your last award video. But here it’s true. For the next six weeks, represent your shop by angling for the most Ping-Pong Hangout wins. Keep track of your agency’s progress on the rankings page, and be sure to check out the guidebook for details on Hangouts and Hangout apps while you’re there. Ready? Go! Head over to Creative Sandbox to
dive into your first match
.
As fun as the Ping-Pong Hangout is, we’re most excited about what’s behind it: The
Google+ Hangouts API
. The API can help you to build deep, engaging and unique experiences for Hangouts. Just take a look at:
Scoot & Doodle
, for whiteboarding across the miles
Story Before Bed
, for reading bedtime stories over video chat
The
Google Art Project
, for leading your own curated art tour
Want more? See the
Hangout Apps Showcase
, check out the recording of our
Hangout with the agencies behind the game
, flip through our
Getting Started guide
or ask questions of the
Google+ Developers
team via Hangout Tuesdays at 2:30pm PT.
So once you’re finished wiping the floor with the creative director from that agency with the mobile app campaign you wished you’d thought of, make sure you get down to business on creating that Hangout app. Flex those new skills!
