One Could Do Worse than Having Roberto Carlos for a Slave

For client Garanti Bankasy — an online bank in Turkey — agency Rabarba created this site that we can’t even begin to pronounce, so we aren’t even going to try: Yazik Degil Mi Carlos’a.

The slogan: “Sending the fastest left back on the planet to the bank takes at least 40 minutes, doing it online takes 1.” Playing on that, soccer star Roberto Carlos runs a series of user-selected errands while trying to navigate Istanbul.

We weren’t really sure what was happening most of the time but we liked the dismayed look that flashed across Roberto’s eyes when we picked a new task. (Strangely, watching him accomplish them never actually revealed to us what we set him off to do.)
