UK brand consultancy The Brand Union is projecting the feed from its The Footwall Twitter account onto the four-storey façade of its London offices. Consumers are encouraged to participate by sending messages about the World Cup, with the show beginning at sundown every evening.
“It’s about relevance,” says Paul Wood, account director for The Brand Union. “Many companies use social media to be seen to be keeping up, but consumers are interested in relevance to create social currency. The Footwall is about uniting fans through the power that social media offers, giving them a voice. We’re in a creative industry – so let’s get creative.”
