Vodafone - Rugby Lions

We helped Vodafone and Ocean Labs create a first of its kind, dynamic, 3D experience for London’s iconic and world-famous Piccadilly Lights.

Using forced perspective, we created the illusionary impact of a giant rugby ball launching through a crumbling London building facade, revealing the iconic rugby ambassadors, Sam Warburton, Maggie Alphonsi, Paul O’Connell, and Jeremy Guscott being brought to life as 25ft large avatars.

Created together with the talented team at Ocean Outdoor, the bold campaign is a celebration of the British And Irish Lions' tour to South Africa.

The takeover was live for an entire week from the 26th July 2021, shattering the building and leaving passers-by aghast on an hourly basis.
