The collaboration resulted in the development of an entirely new filmmaking approach: actual artificial blood was filmed in enormous water tanks and combined with digital graphics. The music is the work of Fazil Say, a Turkish artist exclusively contracted to the Dortmund Concert Hall. The piano virtuoso was recently hailed in the French press as one of the greatest musical talents of the twenty-first century (Le Figaro).

Click here to view this spot Guest comments for featured spot Guest comments from Poppe van Pelt, Founding Creative Partner of independent Amsterdam-based ad agency SELMORE: For the viral campaign we were looking for a shooting location that oozed depression and really underlined the concept of the campaign that NationalJobBank.nl can rescue people from their dead-end jobs. We wanted this former Eastern European style of a gloomy office look and feel. And guess what? Instead of having to travel to Kiev or Albania, we found the perfect location in our own country. In this sad business park in Wormerveer, The Netherlands. Goes to show that boring office environments are a universal phenomenon that is not limited to a particular country or region. As the icing on the cake we found Polish director Miron Bilsky, whose interpretation best fitted with what we had in mind, while his totalitarian working approach got us 47 (!) shots in one day! But the crucial element that really got this viral campaign going was the fact that you could send it to friends and colleagues with a personalized company name in a neon sign on top of the building in the opening shot; without any Eastern European censorship, by the way - so people could send funny or silly company names to each other, again underlining the fact that they needed to switch jobs.â Go to the best TV page or Click here to view this spot  ... and the other spots are equally good!
