Reports that Orange's laughably misguided “Animals” campaign is to be binned after just two months are not true, according to the operator.

The story is being carried by industry newsheet Marketing and mobile news outlet Cellular News. An Orange spokesperson said the campaign would run, as originally planned, until the end of the year.
