Survival Beyond the Year 2012

Months ago, the Institute for Human Continuity (IHC) approached Big Spaceship requesting help in communicating its mission: Ensure the survival of the human race beyond the year 2012.

The IHC asserts with 94% certainty that "in the year 2012 cataclysmic forces will decimate our planet and much of its inhabitants." Founded by powerful business and former government officials, the Institute has been operating underground for decades. IHC Communications Director Dr. Sorën Ulfert took us through the research endeavors and scientific findings that are the framework for the Institute's claims. We soon after agreed to take on the project, despite any initial skepticism.

The IHC site seeks not only to help you understand the perilous condition of our planet, but also to provide information on how best to prepare. Our disaster scenarios visually demonstrate what the IHC predicts will happen to the Earth. We also examine forward-looking issues like space colonization and cultural preservation. Perhaps most importantly, the lottery system we've developed ensures each individual an equal chance at survival.

The future is uncertain. That doesn't mean we can't plan for it.

Further Reading on Advertising & Transmedia

During last week's presentation on Advertising & Transmedia Storytelling, I touched upon a wide range of topics, examples and people, and didn't have enough time to do most of them justice.  So, as promised, this post provides some further detail, as well as links to additional resources and recommended reading for anyone who wants to know more about the topics that I mentioned. (Apologies in advance: this is longer than most Think posts, since there's a lot to cover.)
