LBi Lost Boys

LBi have been appointed Houses of Parliament digital agency of record

LBi has been appointed by Parliament as their digital agency of record following a competitive 4-way pitch run by the COI.  There is an ongoing programme of work planned to make it easier for the public to find out information about and engage with this great British Institution.

The first site to launch is the Parliament Works of Art site.  This site shows a selection of more than 10,000 images that HoP hold and historically have not been available to the public – the launch of the site allows people to browse the art collection, view hi-resolution images and find out more about the history of the Parliamentary art collection with notes written by Parliaments curators.

The Parliamentary Art collection is jointly owned by the House of Commons and the House of Lords and displayed throughout Parliament.  This national collection illustrates the history of the parliament and British politics through the centuries.

Anil Pillai who is LBi’s UK Managing Director says ‘Parliament is the ideal client for LBi.  They have an appetite for innovativion and pushing the boundaries in digital’.

Anne Frank: The Secret Annex Online

The LBi Lost Boys in Amsterdam have been hard at work keeping the memory of Anne Frank alive. As part of the official 50th anniversary celebration of the Anne Frank House, LBi developed a 3D version of the famous house at Prinsengracht 263 where Anne and her family lived for two years. The Secret Annex Online is part of the new Anne Frank website, and allows visitors to take a virtual tour of the annex.

The microsite is full of richly descriptive video clips, telling the story of Anne Frank through diary excerpts and archived witness reports. The English voice-overs are by Tamsin Grieg and Ellie Kendrick, both of whom were involved in the 2009 BBC series “The Diary of Anne Frank”. Atmospheric music was kindly provided by Mark Isham, the American Grammy and Emmy Award-winning composer perhaps best known for his work on ‘Crash’ and ‘A River Runs Through It’.

To spread the story of Anne Frank through social media channels, there is also a Facebook app. Selected quotes from Anne’s diary can be posted to your profile weekly or monthly, spreading her words of inspiration.
