The Brief

They thought a screen was linking them to someone miles away, until they met face to face in the same bus.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

To celebrate Valentine´s day, bus shelters were equipped with video conference screens, inviting people to say something sweet to someonehow was miles away. Thanks to the distance and the videodconference medium, people let go and plucked up the courage to say nice things. From flattering compliments, to comments we can´t repeat here, including formal proposals marriage. But to their surprise and everyone else´s, once on the bus, when there wa no backtracking on what they had said and promised, the discovered that rather than miles, they wer actually only meters away, just one stop away. Happy Valentine´s day. Happiness grows when you share it.
