El Cronista Comercial launched its new institutional campaign enabling an audience less specialized in finances to experience economics as never before.

Stock going up and down, figures, percentages, and interest rates traditionally expressed into charts were reproduced in flights through vertical drops and ascents at 150 kph.

In 2011 speed cameras were introduced to Latvian drivers, but as it soon turned out – it wasn't for the noble cause of speeding elimination but was a cheeky money making scheme and it wasn't the country that won in this war.
