Dive Brief:
- Outdoor apparel brand North Face put customers in challenging situations at some stores in South Korea.
- The stunt— developed by South Korean agency Innored—literally pulled the floor out from under unsuspecting North Face shoppers forcing them to utilize the rock climbing walls.
- After the floor is removed, a North Face item lowers from the ceiling and a 30-sec timer starts ticking down forcing the visitors to try and use their athleticism to seize the item, and the result is fun video for the brand that's had nearly 2 million YouTube views.
