EBay that was brilliant. Your marketing department did you proud. Watch again 🙂
It started as a rather dry brief to explain how eBay Local enables people living in the same neighbourhood to find items nearby that they might after. It quickly spiralled into an epic story of two foes bent on killing each other; but who couldn’t bear to live apart either.

Nevertheless this film performed well-above similar advertising KPIs and was seen over 2.63 million times. The share ratio and positive comments are further proof that entertainment outperforms advertising.
