While we do that through the year, this Riviera season we have decided to go the extra mile to celebrate the contenders.

Taproot tapped into this. Prashant Godbole captured on camera the power of shared experiences to underline that ‘Everything works better when it’s outdoor’. These were displayed on the unused billboard inventory to underline the power of the medium.
