I’m living happily."So: "Once you are labelled as a model, all the hard work you’ve done in the past would be worthless."Yuki Lovey: "'You'll make it' - I'll spend my whole life trying to prove what you said to me before you left, is true."The campaign runs with a city-wide treasure hunt on the company's mobile site, which will see an one carat diamond given to the first participant who successfully captures all the 30 ambassadors crying visuals that are scattered around the city on Facebook, bus shelters and in Mabelle stores, by following the hints on the site.Making-of videohttps://vimeo.com/148043024CreditClient: Leo DiamondAgency: Secret Tour Hong KongCreative director: Jennifer Yip, Stephen ChungAssociate creative director: Shana ChoiSenior art director: Susan ChanCopywriter: Sze Ling LingPhotographer: Hsu ShengyuanVideo production: Two Meter Desk, Yeung Chun YinWebsite development: istage
