The Universal Blog Project is a social experiment. It's like a regular blog, but anybody can post to it and all posts are displayed anonymously. It is designed to separate blogs from bloggers. All of the posts on the site are contributed by users. My own personal creation, the entire blog engine is created completely from scratch in PHP. It will be an ongoing project for the conceivable future. See what's new on the blog.

One of OgilvyOne's biggest accounts is CDW. As part of a 360° marketing campaign, the developers have to work closely with the creatives to create email blasts in an efficient manner. To aid in this, I created a small CMS to do just that. This application, made in ASP.NET, gives the creatives a form to fill out with copy and a file upload tool. Once submitted, server-side script ZIPs the files and stores copy in a database. The developers can then go in and pull out assets and copy at their leisure, and even delete entries once they are no longer needed. Unfortunately, this is an internal tool and is not publicly viewable. If you would like to learn more about it, please contact me.

At OgilvyOne, Chicago 2016 was one of our highest profile clients. Chicago 2016's goal was to bring the 2016 Olympic games to Chicago. For the site, I developed a web form that gets career history data from prospective Olympic contractors. Built on ASP.NET, the form interfaces with a Microsoft SQL back-end. Check out Chicago 2016.

At OgilvyOne, I built a public-facing blog that people could follow us on. It is my first Wordpress blog. As far as the layout is concerned, I was instructed to make it look as much like the corporate Ogilvy website as possible. This blog integrates a Twitter feed and Flickr stream. Unfortunately the blog, while complete and online, was never really put to use by the company. I took the time to make sure that the site looks the same in all major browsers, including IE6, 7 and 8. Check out the blog.

World Sport Chicago is an organization that promotes athleticism and sportsmanship amongst youths in Chicago. This is another client that I work with at OgilvyOne. Most of the tasks I perform for this site are administrative, as well as helping to manage the CMS (DotNetNuke). Check out World Sport Chicago.
