Fresh Footwork

Glue London just released a new episode in the online campaign for Virgin Money. It’s an interactive, kinda strange but nicely simple video thing that shows a classical ballerina going wild and wilder after you hit the say yes button. It did trigger me to go all the way through.

on December 18, 2006 by Mark Comments

In Holland, New Years Eve is traditionally celebrated with loads of family fireworks. It’s also tradition that people ignore all safety precautions, which leads to hundreds of serious injuries, especially between the age of 10 to 19. To create awareness among these youngsters, a lot of confronting campaigns have been created over the years. But this year it’s different. The campaign is online and has a sarcastic taste: fictive character named Li-Kung Lee gives you safety precautions the Chinese way. For those who still don’t understand, the tagline in the video says: ‘Good luck in the year of the pig’.
