Volkswagen : Danny MacAskill

November 2, 2009 3 Comments

I’m sure most of you would have seen the infamous viral video by urban stunt cyclist Danny MacAskill (if not click here to see it). Now he has done a nice ad spot for the new Volkswagen Golf estate.

The clip was filmed in Lisbon by TRY advertising.  So far so good, in just 3 days they have already had over 70,000 plays on YouTube alone. If your brand wants a online viral campaign, often the easiest thing to do is find something that’s already hugely popular and jump on board.

    I hadn’t seen the original Danny MacAskill clip, so this blew me away. Super-cool. Thanks for sharing.
