Colombo - Take a bunch of juniors - no previous agency experience, loud, energetic and bursting with fresh creativity. The young guns, if you will. Put them in charge of Christmas décor for the agency and what do you get? A giant gift that not even Santa could fit in his sleigh.
It wasn't easy, but as per our agency code, "Nothing is Impossible". Located in the heart of Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo, the agency faced fierce competition for prominence, with the iconic Nelum Pokuna (Lotus Pond) National Theatre that opened across the road just a week earlier.
After minimal blood, some tears and a whole load of sweat and time, the team transformed the Saatchi & Saatchi Sri Lanka office into a larger-than-life beribboned gift box, flaunting the copy "We must've been really good this year".
From Sri Lanka to the world, here's wishing you a very happy new year!
Much love (marks), Saatchi & Saatchi.
