It would appear that the daily obliviousness of human traffic makes for the same sad story in both London and New York City.
Therein lies the concept in a new ad from AMV BBDO for Cancer Research U.K., where passersby on a sidewalk in London continue on their (merry) way while a concrete growth encased in fiberglass and created by model-makers Artem begins to persistently bubble up until it reaches critical mass. The hard-surfaced metaphor only casts light on how one should visit a doctor in case he or she can handle early cancer detection.
The PSA cleverly demonstrates how metastasis can not only affect the daily grind but, more importantly, your own health.
Take heed.
