When jacAPPS’ Operation Manager, Bryan Steckler, showed me this video, he had to know it would hit all my favorite “food groups.”
In this case, music, “old school radio,” buzzworthiness, and of course, mobile phones.
We often lament the lack of innovation in our business, so this ingenious idea stands out as the polar opposite. It’s a new music discovery tool that is clever, creative, and makes you want to try it out. Like the first time you saw that Zippo lighter app, the Office Turntable is a home run that you’ll show others this weekend.
Created by Ogilvy Deutschland for Kontor Records, this little invention won a Media Lions Gold Lion award at Cannes. By the way – no skips, no scratches.

That’s Mad Crazy Skillz…loved it!
Thanks, Dave!
Different, yes, but we’ll stick to CDs. We have never missed outdated vinyl, cassettes, etc.
Interesting story, though!
Glad you enjoyed. I love seeing the amazing power and flexibility of mobile.
