Manchester City Council: advert-body-3 by Flipbook Studio & Manchester City Council Communications Team

Flipbook were asked to devise a festive creative treatment and animation that was humorous, heart-warming, poignant and that incorporated the worker bee emblem of Manchester, which has this year come to symbolise so much more to many Mancunians.

Intended to promote the Christmas season in Manchester and encourage families to visit and enjoy the city, the video has also tugged at the heart strings of viewers following what has been a turbulent year for the city.
