The Gap Year - Bebo Profile Skin

Bebo profile skins designed for the launch of the on line show “The Gap Year”.

In a search for three guys and three girls to represent the UK, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Bebo and Endemol have joined forces on an interactive audition process on Bebo, where users nominate themselves by submitting a video about their ‘dream’ Gap Year. The Bebo online community then votes and comments on their favourite hopefuls, sending the six favourites packing…

To mirror Bebo’s global reach, The Gap Year contestants travel the world for six months, taking in far flung destinations such as Iceland, Africa, Thailand, and Russia. They also venture to high profile events like the Rio Carnival in Brazil, the Chinese New Year, Zen Week in Sri Lanka and the Full Moon Party Season in Thailand.

Over the course of their travels, each contestant faces an array of challenges and surprises as they experience different cultures, meet new people, savour exotic food, go in search of outdoor activities and entertainment and even hang out with local celebrities.

The Gap Year allows Bebo-ers to engage with the six intrepid travellers directly, to share travel tips, create their own travel encyclopaedia, comment on The Gap Year blogs, and vote in weekly polls that have a direct influence on how the journeys unravel. New videos and photos are posted daily and every week a catch up stream gives Bebo-ers an overview of the latest happenings in the travels of the six contestants.

Let your journey begin.

KateModern and BBC Radio 1 - Bebo Homepage Takeover

Bebo HPTO design for an episode of ‘KateModern’, which features Ralf Little and Tara Rushton, filmed live from BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge during Nick Grimshaw’s teen show.

Bebo’s leading online drama KateModern which averages 1.5 million views per week, has filmed 7 episodes in 3 cities featuring a special brand integration with Aygo Platinum by Toyota.

Produced by the creators of lonelygirl15, KateModern is one of the most successful shows not on TV. The forerunner of Snack TV, it is a new form of online entertainment that combines bite-size 1-4 minute show episodes with live interaction. The show, which was commissioned by Bebo in April 2007, received over 35 million views in its first season, and over 5 million views in the first two weeks of season two. As with lonelygirl15, KateModern’s sister show, the plot is filled with the mythology of the evil ‘Order’ and the creepy ‘Hymn Of One’ offering unlimited opportunity for viewer feedback and online conversation. Using Bebo’s social networking tools, fans can catch up on KateModern as well as talk to the characters, cast and producers, solve plot puzzles and suggest future ideas for the show.
