Microsoft have pulled off an ambitious stunt to celebrate the launch of Cortana – Siri’s new personal assistant rival – with a loop-the-loop showcase afloat the River Thames.

The #makeithappen campaign was staged on an adapted barge set floating in front the London Eye – in an attempt to replicate Cortana’s logo, which is represented by a number of blue rings.

Adam Johnson, Microsoft’s marketing director for mobile devices, said: “The bright idea of doing this on water was probably our biggest challenge.

“We wanted the epic shot with the Eye behind us – to do that you have be halfway between the north bank and south bank.”
