Oban’s short documentary about online travel search behaviour surprised even them

It’s their most visual endeavour to put a human face on global search. Oban Multilingual’s short video, filmed in England’s capital, captures international travellers at their most candid.

Oban conducted interviews with individuals from over 40 countries. The Oban team wanted to find out how the travellers were using the internet to search.

The team was surprised to have not found the answers they expected. But after a careful review of the footage, the light bulb went on.

The video is available to watch at www.faceofglobalsearch.com.

The ending reveals the paradoxical conclusion that emerged after a long day of interviews.
