about the client

Periscope is an advertising agency located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Over the past 3 years Periscope has tapped iE as its Interactive Agency of choice.  We have helped them develop several large interactive initiatives during the course of this partnership.  These projects have leveraged our Content Management System (CMS) development, HTML production, Flash, project management, and systems integration skill sets.

the agency's agency

Periscope approached us to help augment their interactive department for their Treasure Island website design project. TreasureIslandCasino.com is a CMS-driven website which includes dynamic Flash elements for new and existing Treasure Island Casino customers. While this project originally focused on integrating Flash Action Script with our CMS backend, it eventually expanded into much more. The front-end mixes traditional HTML and javascript with Flash elements while the back-end allows for simple management of copy, image, video, audio, and other content.

a new level of cms editing

The Treasure Island project began with our developers working closely with Periscopes developers to create a CMS API.  The customized CMS tool allows for the creation of new pages on the fly, with custom and multiple URLs for each page.  Pages are built using shared components, such as navigation, copy, XML, and more.  The website was built around a "page type" concept, featuring a pragmatic and highly functional use of AJAX.  This allows for modular editing of content as well as niceties such as predictive text auto-completion and a dashboard for quick and easy access to recently modified pages.
