MINI Comes to Second Life! Hammer & Coop Rock the Grid
This is going to be cool. Working with our friends (and next door Sausalito neighbors) Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners, we’re bringing MINI into Second Life. But we’re doing it with a twist.
For the release of the new 2007 MINI Cooper S, they’ve created a series called Hammer & Coop which is being released as a series of 6 webisodes here. Starting tomorrow at 5 PM SLT, we’re going to kicking off a game around the films, set in Second Life but spilling over onto the web and various other forms of social media.
That’s all I can say right now: the secret’s part of the fun. If you want to attend the initial event and haven’t gotten the invite (it comes in the form of a virtual bucket of suds containing all the necessary clothing and such), just IM Bianca Darling and she’ll hook you up.
