The scenes portrayed are inspired by real people\u2019s stories and include a young man working in a kitchen who struggles to complete his studies due to a lack of data, a father and daughter who are unable to stream something to watch while they\u2019re on a coach journey and a woman outside a laundrette struggling to stay in touch with loved ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To demonstrate how O2 is supporting people in need via the National Databank, the film shows snowflakes made of SIM cards gently falling from the sky into the hands of those who had been disconnected, showing how they can get online with free O2 data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To highlight the stories of those experiencing data poverty, VCCP&#8217;s global content creation studio, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wearegirlandbear.com\/\"><b>Girl&amp;Bear<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, worked with award-winning director <\/span><b>Stefanie Soho<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><b>Smuggler<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, with <\/span><b>The Mill<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> working on VFX. This helped to deliver the message in a simple, honest and moving way &#8211; illustrating both the necessity of data and the feeling people get when help is at hand. The film is set to the song <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2018Snowfall\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by Ingrid Michaelson.<\/span><\/p>        \r\n                \r\n  \t\t\t      <\/div>\r\n      \r\n      <div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n    \t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition, the campaign landing page has been cleverly designed and built as a zero-rated webpage which is exempt from any data charges so it\u2019s accessible to those experiencing data poverty. Through this webpage, those in need can find their nearest O2 store to access free mobile data. This was built by VCCP\u2019s digital experience agency <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wearebernadette.co\/\"><b>Bernadette<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, with the clear audience need at its heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Simon Valcarcel, Marketing Director at Virgin Media O2, said: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWith around two million households now experiencing data poverty, we wanted to use our platform this festive season to share the realities of not having data in an honest and relatable way, while raising awareness of the support available via the National Databank.
