It’s a brilliant, touching and hilarious story of one man’s efforts to win back the girl who left him. It features “Come Back,” the latest single from British dance act Chicane.

They have previously always used arty / black&white type of imagery, this new approach ignores the art bit and tries to create something that is much better suited to the YouTube / internet audience.

This is indeed a strong way of engage users to a different type of advertising.
