Creative Execution

We see Cuche’s accidental destruction of the Austrian Ski Team Bus and the furious reaction of the bus driver.

The film reached 1 million clicks on Youtube within a few days and garnered a lot of additional media attention in Switzerland when it was revealed that Mobiliar was behind it all.

Before airing a TVC for Mobiliar Insurance, featuring recently retired Swiss ski star Didier Cuche, this viral was spread showing the story as accidentally filmed by a bystander.
