In early 2014, a Swedish shampoo company called Apotek ran an interactive video campaign on metro platforms. Displayed on digital poster screens, a model’s hair swayed and swished in the wind every time a train arrived in the station. It was a great idea.
In fact, the idea was so great that the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation decided to copy it and make their own version.
The charity created a video using the same ‘hair-raising’ technique as the shampoo ad, but with a bit of a twist. They wanted to capture people’s attention as well as raise awareness and funds for their cause.
