The agency also created a lot of buzz by posting a special effects video of a plane seemingly flying under a bridge in Montreal, explains Pascal Beauchesne, creative strategist at The Lab Foundation (…)Skywriting is a technique that was often used to advertise in the 1980s, says Beauchesne. “So we just decided to link a vintage marketing strategy as a new media with the viral, to connect everything together…” Marketing Mag
