The challenge

Create a distinctive console promotion that gives gaming fans an object worth sharing.

The idea

McCann London and John Nolan Studio make a life-size creature fabrication with the console visible through an illuminated Xbox emblem and a customised controller in its jaws. The one-off object anchors a film and a US social sweepstakes. No live alligator was used.
