Wasserman Media Group

Wasserman Media Group (WMG) is a global sports management group with a lot of great athletes and a lot of sites to build. So Sisu created a site buildin’ site that lets WMG quickly create great-looking, unique sites for each of their stars. The Cake-based CMS lets WMG choose from a wide variety of hybrid Flash/HTML templates then populates them with each athlete’s custom content and imagery. The first lucky recipients include Tracy McGrady (who subsequently led the Rockets to 19 straight wins… we’re pretty sure the website inspired him), Freddy Adu (who had to move to Portugal to get away from all the people complimenting him on his website) and Hanley Ramirez.

Hearst Mobile

Hearst came to Sisu to design the mobile interfaces for their stable of 18 marque magazines. Sisu created a design system capable of incorporating dozens of types of content within custom branded shells. The system strikes a balance, preserving brand integrity within WAP 1.0’s limited capabilities while giving users fast access to WAP-appropriate, fun content and features. Hearst’s mantra for their mobile efforts is “I had no idea my phone could do that!” Well now it can!

Sony: CES

The annual madhouse that is the Consumer Electronics Show shines a critical spotlight on the consumer electronics industry. Sony uses the event to announce major new developments and build momentum for the coming year. For the third year in a row, Sisu worked with Sony to develop a dynamic, responsive site to satisfy the needs and rabid interest of the press and early adopters on-location and remotely. Users can learn about hot new products and initiatives, take a tour of the booth and keep up to date reading the daily blog entries.

ABC: Dancing With The Stars - Fantasy Dancing

As armchair quarterbacks (or choreographers), we like to predict who will stay, who will leave, and of course, who will cry each week. With Fantasy Dancing, you can vote on that and more – keeping viewers involved throughout the season and all building to an end of season grand prize. Sisu led the design and Flash build of the game, integrating with ABC’s proprietary technologies and registration tools, and delivering a stellar new concept for ABC. The game has been immensely successful, attracting more than 250,000 registered users to the contest.
