Over 4 million people have seen how Cupidrone has spread love

Cupidrone

In this short film the red ‘Cupidrone’ drone scoured the streets of Verona for loving couples and lonely souls. What did we find? That the traditional symbol of love - the red rose - still works perfectly. “For anyone who wants to make Valentine’s Day special, Cupidrone shows that flowers have an amazing effect on people, ” says Ivo van Orden, Campaign Manager at the Flower Council of Holland.

 

The film was posted on Funnyhowflowersdothat.co.uk and its three variants in the other core countries: Mooiwatbloemendoen.nl, Lajoiedesfleurs.fr and Tollwasblumenmachen.de. Bloggers and the editorial teams of international off-line and online lifestyle, fashion and women’s magazines were sent red roses on behalf of #cupidrone. With this appealing gesture Funnyhowflowersdothat.co.uk was able to encourage many relevant bloggers and editorial teams to publicise the film and thus increase its reach. The film was presented to a wider international audience via Facebook, Twitter (#cupidrone) and the video platforms YouTube, Be-On and Exponential.
