PG Tips
Monkey's Monumental Mission
Red Nose Day is a national TV charity event where celebrities take on enormous, daunting challenges to raise money. Brands partner and play their part by selling special fundraising packs. We aimed higher.
We brought our beloved brand mascot – PG tips’ Monkey – to life in the real world. Building a robot Monkey who took on his own towering feat: climbing Europe’s tallest building. Fans could support Monkey’s heroics by buying special packs.
How it began
It started with a teaser...
Months before we were allowed to reveal what Monkey was up to, we took the opportunity to create a little teaser video whilst filming an earlier project. Not giving too much away, we announced that Monkey would be doing his bit for Comic Relief, in his usual cheeky Monkey style, "Comic Relief? No fee then…"
Team Monkey
With the help of some celeb chums...
As the time to scale the Shard drew nearer, fans witnessed Monkey's progress in training as he was helped by his celeb chums. 'Team Monkey' helped prepare Monkey in person for the stunt, and other celebs added their support with good luck messages.
