Our idea is to go a new creative way of a series format instead of a traditional campaign film. There are almost no similar projects, which is why it was a brave undertaking by the client and the agency to implement this format. Would users actually watch around 30 minutes of advertising (including advertising within advertising) at a time when attention is an extremely rare commodity?
