What we created

By reimagining destination marketing, we drove awareness of San Diego through a cohesive 360° campaign rooted in art and innovation. The campaign featured market-first activations, including OOH murals in NYC, Chicago, and LA; AR-enabled QR experiences; a branded hub; and a “Sunshine Kit” sweepstakes to drive engagement.
