We (Soap Creative) just launched one of the largest sites we have ever done. Frubalia. Well Rollups.com.au actually.

The site introduces kids to the Frubas and the world of Frubalia. Uncle Toby's Roll-Ups have now been fully rebranded with the Frubalia characters on them.

The TVC's by Singletons are running now across all the kids shows. Too bad they omiited the Rollups URL or they might actually help drive people to the site :) They've veen disabled embedding and commenting on Youtube for the ads. Oh dear.

Bannerblog is happy to announce that Tangozebra will sponsor the site for 2007.

This support is essential in maintaining the site and Tangozebra, as Europe's leading digital marketing technology provider, will ensure we are always kept stocked with fresh creative.

The transition over will take place in the next few weeks with Martin Pavey from TZ joining the editorial team.

The BBC have finally allowed non UK users to see the latest Preloaded & BBC production titled CDX.

It's quite tough to pull these types of games off (many have tried) and this is a great example of how to do it properly. I just wish I had more free time to waste away exploring these games. The attention to detail is amazing, the whole package is faultless.

I'm not sure of the reason behind it's creation other than to promote BBC's history coverage.

How do you promote your labels new range of coloured Jackets? You do it in style with Mixplay.

I'd like to see these guys take on Pjorto.

UNIQLO's website is also a fav here at Soap.
