Brief Explanation

To entertain the Narcos fans before the official release date of the season 3 episodes, Netflix promoted the show by turning the Champs-Elysées Avenue's Morris ad columns into giant cocaine-filled hourglasses in the street. Pedestrians and drivers were hooked by the setup and generated fierce discussions on social networks, questioning whether it was tolerable in a public space. Serendipity generated a lot of organic exposure among Parisians and their community as well as tourists who were surprised and wondered about the legality of such marketing practices.
