Virgin Mega Stores

I seldom go into a pitch thinking “damn it, we better get this because quite frankly, I reckon I’ve nailed this one”. Our print division Clinic hold the Virgin Mega Store UK account, and when the job of redesigning their AWFUL website came up, One Shoe stepped up to the plate. The throw is good, pow! Ball flies out to left field, I think it’s going to go all the way… NO! Caught just short of the barrier and that’s the game! Bastards. I literally cannot believe we didn’t get it. We even came up with “Virgin Mega Search” which was going to be Virgin owning entertainment search like Google.

All I’m saying it that whoever won it better be reinventing the internet with whatever design Virgin went with. Sort of like when Jesus wrote the New Testament and God went “son, we’ve already got a killer book, and I’m like God, so, how in heaven and earth, that I created by the way, do you think you’re going to top it?” And Jesus would have said “dude, I’m you too remember, plus I’ve actually been to earth, I know what the kids really want, go and work on another locust plague or something I’m up to Psalms and I’m trying to think of something that rhymes with Leviticus”. It better be THAT good.

Oh and I’ve only just realised that I should have made that Snoop Dogg headline “Shop it like it’s hot”. Damn you hindsight! Maybe that’s why we lost it. Sod it, i’m off to HMV.
