Part of the 'Saving Summer' campaign created by VML/The Pharm for Boots, this charming film follows a case of confusion over the brand name and the popular sturdy footwear used for climbing.
Beautifully cast and wittily scripted, the spot Take a Hike was directed by Andrew Gaynord, through Mind's Eye, and sees a couple refuse to make a mountain out of a molehill when their totes adorbs little cherub has mistakenly packed toiletries instead of tough boots for their holiday hike.
