Brief Explanation

On 14th Feb, 2011, we stripped the internet. We hijacked popular web sites and hid games and puzzles behind them. Then we sent our LaSenzaMe Facebook Fans on a virtual treasure hunt race across the net. Since Valentine's Day is a big day for a lingerie retailer, we wanted to convert our online activation into in-store purchase, so at the last stage of the race, we directed people to La Senza stores in the UAE. We called it 'Strip it! with La Senza' and based the theme on a romantic Valentine's Day journey. We did this using a bookmarklet.
