Ubisoft - The Division

CASH CONTAGION

Find out the infection risk
of your banknotes. 🦠

Brief
Ubisoft wanted to introduce its new action video game called The Division.
The pitch? A virus spread on banknotes has made the US fall in 5 days.

Idea
A website that scans banknotes to prevent this worst-case scenario.

Role
Ideation / Digital and social media copy / Production follow-up

The first letter of the banknote’s serial number is scanned by the webcam, giving so the location of its printing.
Combining with the user’s IP address, it is possible to estimate the travel of any banknote and the amount of germs contained.

The final result is based on data from the European Central Bank, Master Card and Euro Bill Tracker.

FWA of the day
333.000 people have seen the hashtag #CashContagion during the first week
0 banknote spent in paid-media
