Case Study - Guerilla Campaign
Surfshark - Data Leak Pipe
On the day Meta opened its new Munich office, Surfshark installed a very literal, very pink, very public leaking pipe at the entrance - a physical metaphor for the data that leaks out of Big Tech every day.

The challenge
Surfshark needed to dramatise an abstract idea - data privacy - at the exact moment and place the message would land hardest: outside a Big Tech company’s front door.
The idea
Make the metaphor literal. Build a pipe that appears to leak directly in front of Meta’s new office, contrasting Big Tech’s data practices with Surfshark’s core promise: keeping data in, not out.
