Branson in a Box PR website

Client

Virgin media

Role

Creative direction

The brief

Richard Branson’s launch stunt for Virgin involved sitting in a glass box, for 24 hours, with a complete media setup including Virgin Media TV, Broadband and Phone.

The solution

With little time to spare, Branson’s PR team came to me to breath life into the work of their creative agency, who had produced site designs that were off brand and that couldn’t work online.

Users were able to interact with Branson via webcam, provoking mixed reaction. And of course, the site heralded the launch of the Virgin’s newest and biggest corporate venture yet.
