Proximity Russia (BBDO Russia Group) is promoting the Intouch insurance that covers any car damage caused through no fault of the owner. The outcome was an experiment to demonstrate the unpredictable things that can happen to cars – they dangled a 350kg grand piano, suspended by nine ropes, over a parked car Moscow garage. Twice a day for a whole week, a real random event, such as a Barcelona football victory or a certain oil price level, has been determining if a rope is cut or not. The action was being broadcasted live on the site and on Twitter where visitors could vote for the next random scenario. By the end of the action the #carvspiano hashtag became the second most trended topic on Russian web ground.
