On The Cusp, Longlist - Humour

Sky Glass, The Infomercial

We'd been going around in circles for six months trying to figure out how to make a piece of content that organically sold Sky Glass to younger demographics on YouTube. As a last resort I wrote this script on the train journey back from an inspo-hunting trip to Margate. I figured maybe if we were SO overt that this was an ad but made it ridiculously funny, the audience would forgive us - and I knew Amelia Dimoldemnberg was the perfect talent to pull off this kind of dry humour. I am forever grateful to the brave social team who took a leap of faith on such an absurd idea.
