Durex Worldwide: Website & online advertising concept & design
Response: Over six years I have had a great deal of success working with SSL / Durex. Including the past three site redesigns and numerous microsites, online advertising campaigns, viral's, SMS campaigns and games, plus recognition with various awards.
For example the highly successful Durex condom tester viral campaign. It did it's work across social networks creating it’s own news / PR and was the most forwarded story on the BBC News website for 24 hours.
All this cumulated in winning the redesign of Durex.com. A global site in 64 languages, incorporating fully dynamic flash. The site is built to a strict client spec and rigid CMS.
