What the transcript puts on the table.
Another campaign which was really good which I thought was very apt also for today's day and age considering global warming and all that stuff was the IKEA Steps campaign because they were launching a sustainable store and they wanted to actually have people walk across them or…
They spread these various signages right across the city stating that you are X number of steps away from the IKEA store.
They're just telling them to move towards the IKEA store on foot and I think that was a brilliant thought because no one has ever actually done it before.

How did you get to the Danish team? I love the way marketing campaigns like when the Euros were going on and The Sun came out with an advertisement which had bacon on a piece of bread which basically said we are having you for breakfast and it's a dig at the Danish team and essentially Danish newspaper retorted saying that it's not coming home, we are coming home and they put the Danish team out there. I like that it reminded me of the old coke and Pepsi castle days and all I love stuff like that.
Another campaign which was really good which I thought was very apt also for today's day and age considering global warming and all that stuff was the IKEA Steps campaign because they were launching a sustainable store and they wanted to actually have people walk across them or advertise to them in the most sustainable manner also because they wanted to approach them in the most sustainable manner which was essentially on foot. And they spread these various signages right across the city stating that you are X number of steps away from the IKEA store. So they're just telling them to move towards the IKEA store on foot and I think that was a brilliant thought because no one has ever actually done it before.
It's so simple but it's so intriguing and so eye-catching and that to me is really good advertising also. So stuff like that which actually is just non textbook kind of advertising. Happy days.
