    Sharp FanLabs

    To promote Sharp's sponsorship of UEFA Euro 2012 Work Club built laboratories filled with Sharp technology to monitor fans' behaviour – not just what they were saying, but what they were thinking while watching matches. The FanLabs laboratory is also accompanied by an online survey to further monitor fans.

    Ballantine's Human API

    Work Club created an app called "Human API" to illustrate Ballantine's strap line "leave an impression". The app accessed via Ballantine's Facebook page allowed users to comment and advise artists live as they worked on a series of projects. This project won the IAB creative showcase award 2011.
