Fidolls: Not Your Typical Bubble Wand Fare

To supplement the use of big balloon dolls (dubbed “Fidolls”) in its guerrilla campaign, Canadian wireless firm Fido deployed whimsical floating Fidoll-shaped bubbles into the air.

Charming — even if, after the Bravia bubbles effort, it falls a little on the scant side of sudsy.

In addition to repping Fido to both the earth-bound and the airborne, the campaign — which invites users to text 411 to 10987 — invites users to free “Fido Sessions,” which cover topics like art and design. Artists involved in the sessions have included The Dark, Nicholas Di Genova and Jamie Campbell.

Nice to see a wireless provider — whose services are so integral to city-trawlers’ daily lives — engage users in a way that enlivens their own creativity.
