Swiss Elevator Riders Get Unexpected Skydive Experience

Swiss Skydive, a skydiving school in Switzerland, commissioned Wirz/BBDO to outfit high-traffic elevators with a vertigo view.

Using branded shots of the city from a dizzying perspective, the objective is to give elevator-riders the sense they’re going into freefall. The effort resulted in some free TV and print news coverage, which is always nice.

In an economic climate like this one, we’re vaguely sure the average 9-to-5er — even Swiss ones — don’t need help getting that plummeting-from-great-heights feeling. Their employers probably accomplish that just fine.
