Interac was among the first in Canada to debut their holiday campaign this year, obviously trying to reach consumers with its message of staying in the black before they embarked on their shopping. To keep the momentum going for all those procrastinators among us, agency Zulu Alpha Kilo has created a series of videos being shared through social media featuring behind-the-scenes interviews with the stars of the “Toy Store” spot: the toys themselves. The chats show that, inanimate object or not, credit card debt is a frustrating situation for anyone to be in.
