Remarkable stunt from Tropicana. Today at 6.51 a fake sun was lit at Trafalgar Square as part of the Tropicana’s Brighter Mornings campaign. The sun is 30,000 times bigger than a football, has a surface area of 200m2 and weighs over 2,500kgs. Its internal light source produces the equivalent of 60,000 lightbulbs, making the artwork visible from space, so they say.

Once you have liked the Facebook page you can watch the live construction, which was build on the parking lot of the Brussels Motorshow and remote ignite the flame from the campaign website. If your flame is the one that burns the rope, you win the MINI countryman.

Many people want to give cash gifts directly to homeless people at Christmas, but worry that their money could fund a much wider drug or alcohol-related problem. We provided a much more effective way to give.

QR codes were printed on cardboard and placed alongside blankets, shopping bags and empty drinks bottles.

Linking directly to a JustGiving page, we enabled the public to donate directly to Simon on the Streets: a homeless charity that supports men and women who are sleeping rough on our streets.
