Brief Explanation

Noise isolating earphones are not new. And yet, we had to create a fresh campaign that had never been seen before.

The Brief

The brief was to promote Westone’s noise isolating earphones.

How the final design was conceived

We firstly arrived at our insight: the ultimate environment that blocks out noise is a soundproof room. And from that, our campaign was born. We created three intricately crafted posters that literally soundproofed some of the noisiest environments around – a packed underground train, a noisy café and a pedestrian tunnel in the thick of the city. Naturally, we placed the posters right next to these noisy environments in real life.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

Thanks to the insight and the intricate design and crafting of the posters, the campaign became a representation of the product’s effectiveness. The campaign seemed to resonate with our audience. After all, we exceeded our client’s ambitious sales targets (for essentially a product that offered nothing new).
