We recently posted a video from T-Mobile for their “Life’s for sharing” campaign. Subsequent to the flighting of the ad in the UK, ‘the making of’ video has had 1,533,181 views on YouTube in comparison to the ad itself which racked up a third as many views. Viewers have clearly shown a keen interest in how London’s busy Liverpool Street Station was transformed into an impromptu dance marathon during morning rush hour. For T-Mobile this has been a campaign with serious longevity. Kudos.
