Prior this campaign, VIKING employees were never consulted about their brand & product communication. This campaign was about implicating them in the communication. So they could see the TV commercial in preview. The communication objective was to increase their “corporate” state of mind. The marketing objective was to motivate them.

Our aim was to come up with a funny yet “classy” website — no hype, but with a genuine graphic signature. We realised we could put together deliberately unrefined photomontages with no claim to achieving realistic special effects or image rendering, but with a visual twist that would yield original, compelling results. It took several tries before we hit upon the right amount of “rough cut” material and the final product we were looking for. We also decided to put in loads of detail, both for greater visual richness and to give visitors ample opportunity for laughs.
