Virgin gets it

When I was working at Virgin Money I was always envious of the Virgin Mobile guys as they always had the best marketing campaigns. They’ve just launched a new one called “Are you with us or what?” and it’s one of the first marketing “splash” websites that I really really like.

It’s a pretty simple premise, they ask a bunch of questions and you have to answer them with whether you’re with them or not. The thing I like is they’ve used loads of Flickr photos, and some of the questions are actually quite funny - “Just because you can build a website doesn’t mean you should. Are you with us or what?”.

Ok it does get slightly tedious after a few minutes, and I don’t actually see the point of the site apart from branding - but even as I was wondering what the whole point to the site was, I clicked through to their main site, noticed a phone I’ve been wanting for a while has gone down in price, and I’m on hold to them as we speak to order it.

A pat on the back to Virgin Mobile and their online agency (I think it’s Host?) for a campaign well executed.
