Hello, Carbon Interactive - how may I help you?

As with any usual Friday morning in Carbon, we get many-a-usual phone calls. Until this less-than-usual call came in...

Here's my contribution to the nominees for "Phone Call of the Year" (if there was such a category)

This is the conversation, not in verbatim, but still as accurately as possible with any identification to persons / bodies involved changed for their protection / privacy (because we love people - just that this call kind of amused us a fair bit).

Carbonite: "Hello! Carbon Interactive - how may I help you?"
Caller: "Hi, I am calling from XXX (a certain institution), we are building an eco-friendly car...you know the CnG kind?"
Carbonite: "Uh-huh, yup..."
Caller: "Yes...we want to make the car body out of carbon fibre..."
Carbonite: "..."
Caller: "So uh...can your company supply us?"
Carbonite: [Pause] "Uh, I'm sorry but i think you've got the wrong number, we don't supply carbon material"
Caller: "But i got your number from the website"
Carbonite: "Sorry, but which website did you get it from?"
Caller: "Street Directory..."
Carbonite: "Ok...but I'm sorry, we can't help you..."
Caller: "You mean you are not a carbon product supplier?"
Carbonite: "No we're not..."
Caller: "Oh ok...maybe i try again... thanks"
Carbonite:"No problem, bye"

So yes...a word to from us: We are Carbon Interactive - we do interactive designs and create wonderous digital solutions. We love our clients, and our clients love us too. The thing that we don't do as a company... is supply carbon.

But thank you to whoever you were - you've made our day so much more interesting in just a span of 2 minutes. Much love from the Carbon crew to you!

A Ball of A Good Time

Hello again from the land of the Carbonites!

It's been awhile since our last update, but here's something fresh from our monthly adventures.

Our latest Carbon outing calls us out to a show of skills (or lack of it) upon the basketball court. It was supposed to be a typical game of 3-on-3, but yes... with us nothing's really typical. Going beyond shooting hoops, we've got flying feathers (i.e. badminton) and our dear Art Director taking time to reminisce his childhood... and a little more.

The clip says it better than words, so why not just watch it instead!

(Yes i know the song and the titles don't actually agree on the 'thursday vs. friday' bit, but yes, how many songs do u find singing about 'thursdays' ?? Hmmmm??)

Stay tuned for more atypical stuff coming your way!
