Tropicana Brightens Inuvik's Sunrise Festival

BBDO Canada has teamed up with Tropicana to film an advertisement in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, where people spend 30 days in the winter in darkness, literally. A helium balloon filled with light was suspended into the air to recreate a sunrise during Inuvik's Sunrise Festival, a celebration for the sun's return. This ad has been viewed on Youtube approximately 50,000 times, so unfortunately, I don't feel too ahead of the crowd by posting this video. However, I wanted to point out the effective "shock value" of the ad; most likely, the people of Inuvik will never see this spectacle again, so imagine living in almost 30 days of darkness and waking up to a helium ball of light! Tropicana distributed free cartons of orange juice to each household, which interestingly sells for $12-$13 per carton. (!)
