21jump 2 Ashley & Martin, the medical hair loss centre, has launched a social media campaign asking people to submit videos, pictures and information about things they’d like to bring back – including anything from their favourite childhood cereal to their favourite TV shows such as 21 Jump Street and the original Degrassi Jr High.

The Bring It Back campaign is awarding one winner $500 each week for their submission and has already handed out the cash prize to two winners. The first one was for a submission to bring back TV cartoon character Rainbow Brite and the second was to bring back sand animation show, A.E.I.O.U.

The campaign, created by Market United, follows on from the animated video series Ashley & Martin launched on YouTube called The Lovers, featuring two lonely strands of hair talking to each other about growing apart.

@mumbrella – thanks for the link love.

I wrote a summary of our strategy behind this campaign – http://www.thinqdigital.com.au.....g-it-back/
It was actually thinq, not Market United that devised this – but it’s all good, we’re part of the same parent company… 🙂

And, Merry Christmas!
