Method created the brand identity and initial set top box user interface for
OTT startup,
Boxee, in 2006. The Boxee work has won the Graphis Gold Award for logo design. Boxee has since been named one of the top 5 Companies That Are Re-Inventing Media by The Huffington Post and named "America's Next Top Gadget" by Appletell. In 2007, Method launched and redesigned the website for the
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Conferences. The conference is very exclusive, and previously only the select TED members had access to the
TEDTalks. The website redesign has opened the talks presented at the conference to the public, and offers new browsing and social networking features. TED.com has since won awards from the
One Show Interactive,
Webbys, OMMA,
HOW Interactive, and Pixel, w3, and
Communication Arts for Visual Design, Navigation/Structure, Technical Achievement, and Video Sharing. In 2009, Method worked with the founders of
Aardvark to expand their services into an online offering. Previously, Aardvark was available via instant message and text message. The new website, vark.com, has an infographic that explains how Aardvark works in 3 steps and also encourages people to use the service with a test question. 6 months after the website launched, Aardvark was acquired by Google for $50 million. Aardvark has also won the
SXSW Web Award for Community. Method was the design partner for a leader in social television,
Viggle, creating their brand identity, loyalty strategy, and the design for the iPhone application, which in its first year since launch in January, 2012, has surpassed 1.8 million registered users and 151 million check-ins. In 2014, Method worked with Salesforce to design and develop a new multi-channel online broadcast experience for their 2014 Dreamforce conference. The analytics on the site far surpassed the goal, with 8 million unique viewers from all campaigns, 284k visits to Salesforce LIVE, 608k page views on Salesforce LIVE, and 20 minutes average view time (and 24 minutes average view time to the Channel 1 experience). To celebrate their 11th anniversary in 2010, Method launched its own content series, 10x10. The 10x10 series covers topics such as cable-cutting, monetization of content, entertainment in the cloud, mobile interfaces, and gaming impact. The series has been well received by the media including
The Huffington Post,
PSFK,
Core77,
Cool Hunting, and
Fortune. The series currently lives on Method's website and is syndicated by Fast Company Design. Most recent clients include Stellar, San Francisco Ballet, Lush, Ubisoft, EVRY, Blick, Clear,
The Economist, 23andMe, Sage, Gulfstream, Century Link, and WWF. ==Awards==
