CONTEXT
When astronauts take their first look at planet Earth from space, they often experience the “overview effect”— the psychological shift that happens when you suddenly see your planet Earth from afar.
SOLUTION
Space Safari takes viewers on a virtual space mission with astronauts, sharing their awe at seeing Earth’s fragile beauty from space. It premiered on 24 September 2019 at Climate Week NYC, where global leader gathered to discuss climate action.
IMPACT
The campaign won two Danish Design Awards 2020 in the categories of ‘Message Understood’ and ‘People’s Choice’. The project is also nominated for the VR Awards 2020 under the category ‘VR Marketing of the Year’ and was shortlisted for the Marketing Week Masters 2020 under the category ‘Branded Experiences and Events’
