OVERVIEW

Execution

Spain played Argentina in the Davis Cup final of tennis. The newspapers covered this the same day that James Bond’s shadow appeared right over their editorial content.

The TV broadcast of the final competition became a national event. His imposing shadow emerged from among the crowd, witnessing this major event live and incognito. Bond’s shadow, the symbol that the Internet had popularized among his fans, “appeared” on the court during pauses in the game. A presence that also took the streets, through a reflection projected on traditional street fixtures.

These innovative appearances of Bond’s shadow on the traditional mass media made news on the Internet, where the spontaneous viral effect was perpetuated among fans and synergies were established on mobile phones to enjoy exclusive content, advantages and experiences.
