Expand the Rainbow

Creating a memorable viral campaign is difficult enough, but expanding upon it months after the campaign has been released is a different beast all together.

It really seems like Skittles is able to do more than just rely on the magicality of their initial viral fame (you can view the entire series here).

Skittle's recent work definitely holds a few qualities I would like to keep in mind for my own work: magic, mayhem,... and beards.
