Half of each team went to Finland to film a TV advert while the other halves design a marketing campaign and a digital billboard to be displayed at Piccadilly Circus.

The winner of the task was ultimately decided by Lord Sugar based on the feedback by the experts, with Team Unison being crowned the winning team.
For their treat, winning Team Unison went on an indoor skiing adventure while losing Team Empower stayed to face Lord Sugar in the final boardroom.
Project manager Marianne brought Ryan-Mark and Jemelin back for the final showdown.
Delivering his verdict, Lord Sugar concluded: “Jemelin, I’m sorry to say that I think your part in this task was really the main failure so I’m sorry but you’re fired.”
Making her exit, Jemelin said: “I believe I’m already successful. I came to this country with noting. At 16, I didn’t even speak the language, I was homeless at one point. I used to clean toilets yet here I am today.
“No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, you can become anything you want so long as you work hard.”
The Apprentice 2019 continues next Wednesday night at 9PM on BBC One.
Next week, the candidates are tasked with hosting a corporate away day onboard the iconic Belmond British Pullman train.
