Campaign: Durex “explore” by Havas Worldwide London
Durex is releasing an app that lets users interact with its latest TV ad. Havas Worldwide London created the campaign, which promotes Durex’s first e-commerce website in the UK. The TV spot shows a courier travelling to deliver a package of Durex products and hints at lewd situations happening behind closed doors. Users who download the app can point their phones at the screen when the ad is airing to see what is happening out of shot. It was written by Joe Williams, art directed by Andy Preston and directed by Misko Iho through Love. TMW Unlimited was the digital and social agency on the account.

That Durex youtube is geo-blocked in Australia. How did Mumbrella manage to view it? Are you using a proxy server? Or did you just paste in the code from a PR agency without looking ? 🙂
