The brief

Convince people to get back on the bike.

A series of digital out-of-home ads to convince commuters in Cardiff and Glasgow that OVO bikes were the convenient, sustainable and affordable way to move around their city.

What I directed

Same route, fresh view.

The idea was that the bike changes your relationship with a city you already know. We showed how the bikes give you a new perspective on streets you commute through every day, and captured how it feels to breeze through them — built through the photography and animation rather than described in copy.

It was made entirely by the in-house studio, in the brand world the same team had built.

What happened

A record month in Glasgow.

The campaign ran across digital out-of-home in both cities with a paid social layer.

50k+Rides in Glasgow in May, a record-best rental month
550New monthly memberships in May alone
2.6mOOH reach, 238k guaranteed plays
230kSocial reach, 7,600 conversions
