Booking.com is inviting its customers to explore their curiosities in 'Live Curious' campaign. The campaign wills customers to look beyond generic apartments to unlock a wider world fueled by curiosity.

Booking.com has launched an off-the-wall ad to demonstrate the unique places the platform has to offer.

Created by adam&eveDDB, the ad opens with a montage of typical holidaymaker scenes - barbecuing sausage, friends enjoying food in a nondescript location and a mother plastering herself with suncream in a family-packed car.

Over the top, the voiceover teases: "At booking.com you can find a house, you can find a car. You can even find... a bubble."

The scene then shoots to a couple waking up under the starts, encased in accommodation that's shaped like a bubble.

The ad then unfolds into a series of bizarre scenes. From a tree laden in goats to a face licking giraffe, the inherent message is to 'Live Curious' and embrace all the experiences that come your way.
