For Immediate Release nextMEDIA Announces Top Keynote Speaker for 2010 B-Reel Creative Director Ben Tricklebank to be featured Toronto, ON (October 12, 2010) – nextMEDIA is proud to announce Ben Tricklebank, Creative Director of B-Reel, as one of the top keynote speakers at the nextMEDIA 2010 conference. The British-born director is now based in New York, where he spends days working on projects with the likes of Hugo Boss, Google Creative Labs, Perrier, and LG. His work has been recognized internationally by The British Interactive Media Awards, The London International Awards, D&AD, and The One Show. Tricklebank recently won two Gold Lions at Cannes and the FWA Site of the year for wechoosethemoon.org. “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Ben as our keynote speaker for nextMEDIA 2010,” says Jory Groberman, Executive Director of nextMEDIA. “Ben and B-Reel have astounded the digital media community with their innovation and creativity, and I know a lot of people will be very interested in hearing from him.” B-Reel is a hybrid production company, and specializes in the field of advanced digital productions for web, mobile, out of home, and other media. Tricklebank will lay out the step-by-step process used to move an original concept to viral sensation, as seen in B-Reel’s latest production The Wilderness Downtown. A collaborative project with Canadian indie rockers Arcade Fire, Tricklebank’s interactive movie built with HTML5 simultaneously became a viral sensation that garnered huge publicity for the band, whilst persuading thousands of new users to try Google Chrome.
