Water, Babies and The French Connection
Much has been written about the long-running Evian ‘Live Young’ campaign starring babies. The undisputed consensus being that it is one of, if not the most viewed advertising campaigns of all time.
The ‘Roller Babies’ commercial most notably, made international headlines in 2009 when it was recognised by The Guinness Book of Records as the most viewed online commercial in the world at that time. It recorded 45 million plus views across various video sharing channels.
The Evian commercials are another example of the BETC Paris agency’s excellent ability to form strong business partnerships with their clients and create collaborative bonds that become a much valued asset to both parties in producing outstanding brand communication campaigns.
