Giant panda goes wild ‘Gangnam Style’
With the South Korean singer PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style’ sensation heating up globally, a video recently uploaded on YouTube under the title, ‘Gangnam Style Panda’, has caught the eyes of netizens worldwide.
This video was made by the Chengdu Panda Base, a non-profit organization co-sponsoring the Chengdu Pambassador 2012 program with WildAid and the Yao Ming Foundation, to increase public interest for Giant Pandas. Ogilvy & Mather offices in China and UK helped create the campaign – Apex Ogilvy in Chengdu, Ogilvy PR/London, and Social@Ogilvy/Shanghai.
