The FX team called us (Big in Japan) late Friday afternoon with an idea.  Wouldn’t it be cool if we could have a phone at the new McNamara / Troy location in Hollywood?  The Nip/Tuck team is moving to LA this year and to promote the move they created a ’simulated’ office in the Hollywood and Highland outdoor mall.  The office has some very cool holographic videos of the doctors (so you can see them at work) as well as real live models waiting for the doctors.  The only problem?  You can’t get in.

The phone would allow people passing by to interact with the promotion.  When FX told us about the idea I said, “sound great, when do you need it up and running?”  The answer was, “within a week!”  I thought to myseld, “OMG, we will never get it done within a week!”  Of course we agreed to do it.  Within a week we shipped a pre-configured Cisco ATA to the team building the storefront.  We then connected it to our FanPodCast system.  When you pick up the phone it auto-dials our switch in Dallas and you get the ‘doctors’ IVR.  You can leave a message for the doctors if you like: 310.747.3447

If you are in Hollywood, stop by the store and check out those holograms:
