W+K Amsterdam launched a digital activation as a follow up to its “Wing Everything” ad, calling on consumers to share their best summer pics, which the agency will then turn into GIFs, through collaborations with digital artists Cari vander Yacht, Chris Timmons, Justin Gammon and James Kerr.

The way the initiative works is pretty simple: participants submit photos by tagging them with #WingItYeah on Instagram or Facebook, or upload a photo replying to the Booking.com Facebook post. Booking.com will then select winning photos, exemplifying the best of summer, to get the GIF treatment. The initiative acts as the grand finale to W+K Amsterdam’s integrated summer campaign for the brand.

“People already try to beat each other with their epic summer shots, via social platforms,” explained W+K Amsterdam creative director Genevieve Hoey. “This idea goes one better, turning people’s ultimate summer shots into digital works of art. Being GIF’d by Booking.com will give people the ultimate bragging rights, and I think we’ll help settle a lot of arguments about who won Booking summer.”
