Overview

Execution

For three weeks in September, people in Toronto witnessed something they had never seen before. In an old Victorian house window, they saw a ghost of a little girl. She would skip from window to window, braid her hair, run, look down, and perform a total of forty different actions. We used a holographic projector to illuminate her and within days, it was standing room only outside the house. Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse her.

Outcome

It cost just $5,000 CDN to rent the house. What ensued was over 2.1 million hits on the internet, thousands of people showing up to the house, major national media coverage(i.e. The National Post), and an immediate subscription increase of 29%.
