ABOUT

The German National Tourist Board (GNTB) has its headquarters in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It works on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) to represent Germany as a tourist destination and is funded by the Ministry in accordance with a decision taken by the German Bundestag. The GNTB develops and communicates strategies and products to promote Germany's positive image abroad as a tourist destination and to encourage tourists to visit the country. It has 30 agencies around the world to support its activities.

As part of its global campaign on the ‘Holidays in the heart of nature in Germany’ theme, the German National Tourist Board is focusing its international marketing activities in 2016 on facts relating to nature tourism.

PROJECT AIM

Central to the sales and marketing activities are the 130-plus protected national landscapes in Germany – 16 national parks, 15 UNESCO biosphere reserves and 104 nature parks. The sub-themes of ‘Surprises in Nature’ and ‘Nature’s Pleasures’ reveal lesser-known sides to and destinations in Germany, and provide tips and background stories.

The campaign was designed to boost fan growth and drive traffic by leveraging the influence of social media. With Facebook as a strong communication platform, we utilized the channel to reach our target audience and successfully delivered the engaging content in our quiz game minisite that drew the attention of our audience. In order to reach as much target audience as possible, participants would also be encouraged to share the campaign to their friends with rewards.

DESIGN THEME

The overall art direction of the minisite aimed at presenting a more vital and trendy image, with lucid and concise layout of flat graphic as well as horizontal parallax animation, a natural and vibrant tone of voice was created.

Rainforest Connection

Marketing Collateral & Infographic Design

ABOUT

Rainforest Connection (RFCx - https://rfcx.org) is a NGO that uses upcycled mobile technology to monitor and protect remote forests, enabling real-time interventions. It's a solution that can halt illegal logging in rainforests. The fact is, destruction of tropical rainforest is a leading cause of climate change and global mass extinctions. RFCx transforms recycled cell-phones into autonomous, solar-powered listening devices that can monitor and pinpoint chainsaw activity at great distance, and providing the data openly, freely, and immediately to anyone around the world.

They've proven it in the field in Sumatra against actual illegal logging operations. Their goal is to demonstrate that their system can operate on a global scale, in any forest, anywhere.

This project was shortlisted in the London International Creative Competition 2016.

PROJECT AIM

This self-initiated project is intended to develop a marketing collateral redesign for the Rainforest Connection (RFCx) that helps promoting their goal of action against illegal logging in rainforests. Infographic presentation is explored to succinctly visualize the mechanism of detection system and the old smartphone upcycling process.

The project aims to educate the public about the RFCx operation and encourage people to take part in the old smartphone donation campaign, also enhancing the communication between RFCx and other co-operative parties, that finally help expanding their system to operate on a global scale.
