Virgin Media

Buffertising

Challenge

Buffering is a significant pain point but broadband prospects accept it as a part of online life and didn’t see a need for faster broadband from Virgin.

The Idea

Shake prospect inertia by taking it offline to a place where they wouldn’t tolerate it, TV, by buffering big brands’ TV ads.
