Ideas Can Take You Places: Six Ad Students’ Quest To London

The Creative Circus is known for cultivating students with big ideas. Now, six of those students are using their big ideas to travel to London. The Circus teams are two of only six teams to be nominated for D&AD Pencils from the U.S. They’ve been invited to the ceremony at Kings Place on July 2, 2009 to accept their awards. However, the Circus kids are faced with the creative challenge of raising enough money to go. Not ones to let an opportunity pass, the teams have put together a fundraising website, called thelondonproject.com. Agencies or individuals who sponsor their trip will receive a creative promotion courtesy of the students’ daring personae (“Want to see your logo on a blow-up whale outside Big Ben?”) Anything goes as the agencies have the opportunity to name any scenario in which the students are to promote them. Check out their super-ultra-cute video here.
