August 2008 –Buenos Aires, Argentina.
As the sponsor of a show as exhilarating as the Cirque du Soleil, Citibank wanted its booth inside the big tent in Buenos Aires to be a show-stopper as well.

To achieve this, the company’s ad agency Wunderman called upon SIA Interactive, which developed an interactive game called Virtual Tightrope Walker.

The game, which was available at the booth from June 19-July 20, really got the attention of those who came to see the show. Long lines formed of show-goers who wanted to enjoy the magic of the show through this interactive game.

“The game caused a sensation: kids and adults alike lined up during the intermission to play.
It got the public’s attention and was in line with the look of Cirque du Soleil.”
