HALF

HALF
Season one

Set in the near future 2026, a singular global event occurs for all people across the world become exactly separated in half.

Half of all couples, families, communities, countries and the entire human race have split. Now half the Earth’s population become identified with a new DNA mutation located in their genetic makeup, from a completely unknown source.

This new gene begins to heal people’s genetic weak links (disease, illness, disabilities) while exactly half the world’s people now become segregated and consider “the other”.

People with this gene shift begin to experience a telekinetic consciousness and telepathy skills with others, including some odd side effects and even hallucinations.

The world now wonders is this a genetic mutation derived from an alien species, a human virus spreading or simply our own human evolution? Where did it come from? How will it change humans?

How will all humans react when exactly half the population have become different.

DIVE INTO THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR SCRATCH SOUND

It appeared at the end of a Fab 5 Freddy record as an afterthought... a funny studio moment caught on tape. Now over 30 years later, it exists as the world's most recognizable scratch sample and continues to pop up in top DJ sets to this day. There are many reasons why this is the case, and we wanted to know what they are from the worlds' top jocks.

We're also very interested in the mystery behind the sound. What the person who said it thinks of it today? We are interviewing the folks who were there when the original sound was created, and hear their story in relation to it's legacy.  If you have a strong opinion, story, theory, or connection to the sound, we'd love to chat! Please get in touch below.

The world's best DJs still respect it and gets played around the globe. Ahhh Fresh is a new web doc video series of interviews from globally recognized DJs who have deeply embraced this sound in their music. Learn more below about our progress so far.

TraX was an award-winning sustainability action community based around reusable rewards from consumers and retailers. It was founded by Jared Brick, inside the Presidio Graduate School program 2012. In 2014, it was awarded the Eco-Social Media Innovation by Stopwaste.org in their Business Efficiency awards. TraX was discontinued as a rewards platform at the end of 2014.

The TraX Actions Rewards Process

TraX was a multi-step process to track positive actions taken be real consumers inside retail locations via Instagram and rewarded with SquareCash funds. 

STEP 1: Consumers take positive actions inside retail stores, such as: utilizing reusable cups, bags, containers, bottles and even straws. Also supporting organic, fair-trade and made in USA products. 

STEP 2:  The actions taken by consumers reduce ecologically harmful single-use disposable (SUD) waste and support healthier cleaner communities. 

STEP 3: Consumers document their actions via the popular Instagram app with photos and videos, tagging their store location and adding #traXactions to share their positive actions with the world. View #traXactions photos and videos here. 

STEP 4: TraX community member actions are rewarded via Square Cash incentives to spend freely as they see fit! 

Future positive actions are organically spread via social media and online channels!

ChX

find • follow • check-in

If you're like us, you want to follow and connect with new companies, brands, and new people you respect! But sadly the current process is time-consuming, and can be down-right annoying, involving searching for their profiles (@handles) across many popular social media channels. You also want to check-in to physical locations but the process is again time-consuming and annoying... so we fixed it!

ChX is a new mobile app (under development) exclusively created for efficiently at following new @profiles on social media... leading to a better experience for new followers, growth on social media channels and new engagement opportunities!

ChX also provides a one-touch follow back and check-in process for users to follow any brands. We aggregate their most popular social media channels to create a streamlined experience for users. You can finally follow and check-in all in one place!

USE CHX TO CONNECT IN

• RETAIL STORES

• LIVE CONCERTS + FESTIVALS

• LARGE CONFERENCES

• FOOD TRUCKS

FOLLOW ✋

PROCESS: The user can search for a person, company or brand and follow their social media channels or company contact info in one step. 

1. The user signs into ChX with connecting their social media channels (API)
2. The search for a @handle or company name and are shown a list of relevant and geo-targered results
3. They select the profile desired and can follow them on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and also see a company website (url), email and other options like phone and physical address.
4. The user is also shown a engagement leaderboard per social media channel to view content (per channel) 
5. After they have followed them, they can easily visit any or the most active channel of choice, or contact them
6. The user can return to ChX to see which profiles they follow and which channels are most active for them in real-time

CHECK-IN ⚡

PROCESS: The user gets notified to check-in when they are inside, near or enter a new location.

1. Users can choose which social media channels to "share" their check-in to, (multiple can be selected at once)
2. Users have the option to share the most recent photo or video from their smartphone attached to the check-in
3. Users are prompted to follow the store's social media channels or download the store's primary mobile app*
4. Users can immediately engage with the store's social media channels of your choice: Facebook, Twitter, Swarm, Instagram, Yelp, simply by tapping one.
5. The profile or store can then direct message (DM) the users about deals, discounts, in-store aisle info or other relevant information, while they are inside and still at the location!

*The store or location can direct them to the app store, website or other online location of choice

B2C • C2B • B2B

B2C ENGAGEMENT: Location-based stores and businesses, seek to develop new relationships with active shoppers and online followers while inside their stores. They gain the added benefits of social media mentioned, new followers and the ability to directly communicate with shoppers, all while in-store! ChX creates an engaging new relationship for on-going future communication and increased revenue opportunities. 

C2B USERS: ChX is being developed for the reluctant, yet interested and active mobile users to "check-in" to retail locations and also follow @profiles. ChX users are smartphone app patrons that seek active retail store incentives, increased store engagement and an ability to directly communicate for more information. 

B2B USERS: Companies can now also follow other companies with the same ease and simplicity of base users. Companies now rely on cross-promotions from other brands to help reach and engagement on social media. This growth hacking technique is used by the most prolific channels in existence. The opportunity space here is ripe for innovation!

CHALLENGES

Problem:  The Big Ask

Consumers must download and manage a vast array of social media check-in apps on their smartphones, and then they are asked to "check-in" to location-based businesses of their own accord... so most don't! This process is multi-step, too involved!

Solution

The ChX app sends the user one "push-notification" when inside or near a retail location offering them to "chXin" into the business live and in real-time, with no mobile app searching required. The user can then share their chX to their social media channels of choice and the process is efficiently completed, with very minimal initiated from the user.

Problem: Location Engagement

Retail stores and local businesses seek to add active in-store customers to their social media channels, but are no easy app processes to achieve this. Most retail locations have hidden social media signs on doors, windows, walls and on random counters... but most customers never see even see them. For those that do notices them (see below) the ask is too big... open your app, type in the search, sort results and then follow... a 4-5 step process at least!

The reality is that most consumers find it too difficult and time-consuming to find the stores active channels and then follow that business. The business and the shoppers lose an live in-person opportunity to connect socially and for any future communications!

SolutioN

ChX provides location based businesses with new socially active followers, providing real-time social media data and thus developing a live engagement channels for underutilized sales, marketing and revenue opportunities! #winning

Problem: Lost Opportunities

Currently, consumers have to expend time searching on various social channels and media sites, to find relevant active social media business profiles... so many consumers simply give-up and a major opportunity is lost... Dam.

Solution

ChX allows customers to have instant access to FOLLOW a business's active social channels in real-time in every location! Consumers can then follow a businesses they actively patron with 1-touch ease and simplicity... Nice!

FAQs

Q: How is ChX different than other check-in apps like: Swarm, Yelp and Facebook? 

A: ChX is an aggregator app, and combines all these existing and new social check-in apps into one interface for the watch user, seeking to simplify the user's process. It also leverages location based "push" notifications, NFC, beacons and other new technologies to alert your watch app, so you are reminded to check-in. ChX never shows you where other friends are at... as we believe this a bit odd - "big brother-ish."  ChX is not used solely for connecting with other people, it is designed to connect with a business, company or store you patron. Companies are looking to find direct to mobile/wearable communications to customers.

Q: How can ChX help me follow the location stores, businesses, or companies?

A: After checking-in to any location with ChX, we offer you to follow that business's pre-seleceted social channels, in one easy to find step. Each company/business location can pre-select what social channel they would like their fans to follow, making it easy for both parties to directly engage.  Research shows that when consumers reach out to companies, and companies reply directly a strong new relationship is thus developed. The business can then engage with customers via social media channels of their choice.

Q: Can I share a photo or personal comment using ChX?

A: Yes, if you take a photo on your iOS phone, simply touch the camera button and ChX will pull and attach the last photo/s taken to your shared check-in. If you want to add a personalized comment, simply hold your finger down on any social icon for 2-3 seconds and a comment box will pop up. The default text for the a check-in is "Just checked in at (location name) with chX app #chXin #storename"

As ChX develops with new user data, we will modify and iterate the default check-in making it more customize-able for the user and locations.

Q: How does ChX generate revenues?

A: ChX is a new app solution to serve the B2C geo-location check-in industry, so first we focus on getting users and customers!  We can see great sponsorship opportunities from the companies and businesses, as partners.  We do not plan to add advertising in the beginning, but as the user base grows, we can offer a variety of sponsorship and top-tier placements to companies.  The goal is to get millions of people to #chXin first via the  watch app. 

Q: When can I download the chX app?

A: As mentioned, we are in development right now, but if you are interested in being a alpha/beta tester please add your name in the form below. We hope to have a version out to you by Q3 of 2016.

Q: Will you be developing chX for Android or Windows?

A: Based on users feedback and new platform growth, we will know more about developing for other platforms, for now we are just doing iOS  watch for simplicity.

Q: Are you recruiting team members now?
