The Campaign

Standard Chartered asked us to help bring its brand promise of being “Here for Good" to life for the annual Arts In The Park Festival. We decided to focus on providing an antidote to the growing dependence that children have on gadgets. With the average 8- to 10-year-old spending nearly eight hours a day with a variety of devices, children absorbed into a world of nonstop media, passive entertainment and instant gratification. This is leaving them unfamiliar with the process of creation. Our solution was the Robot Baker - an interactive experience that allows kids to design, produce and play with their very own robots. Over the 2-day event, more than 100,000 visitors attended the Arts in the Park Festival with over a third of the traffic passing through the Robot Factory, 30,000 robots were brought to life and an endless amount of creativity expressed.

The Brief

Our goal was to increase the brand preference for Standard Chartered by engaging with Hong Kong families.

Results

Over the 2-day event, a record 100,000 visitors attended the Arts in the Park Festival with over a third of the traffic passing through the Robot Factory, 30,000 robots were brought to life and an endless amount of creativity was expressed.

Execution

We created the Robot Baker - an interactive experience that allows kids to design, produce and play with their very own robots. This exhibit took place over the weekend of Hong Kong’s annual Arts in the Park Festival. From choosing an original design through bringing their creations come to life and on to their final assembly, everything was intentionally made transparent so that kids could see the beauty of the robot-making from beginning to end.

The Situation

Standard Chartered’s slogan and brand promise is “Here for Good". They wanted to live up to this promise during the annual Arts In The Park Festival. We identified the growing dependence that Hong Kong kids have on gadgets and decided to provide an antidote to this passive entertainment.

The Strategy

Our target’s biggest concern in life are their children. The average 8- to 10-year-old spends nearly eight hours a day with a variety of different devices. With the endless entertainment at their fingertips, children today are being absorbed into a world of nonstop media. This growing obsession with passive entertainment and instant gratification has left many kids unfamiliar with the process of creation. We posed the question: what if we could help kids discover the joy of creating in the real world?
