We partnered with Ocean Wise (the new name for the Vancouver Aquarium) to launch Ocean.org — a digital platform built to engage millennials worldwide on the future of our oceans.

Challenge

Beyond Stanley Park

A vision that reached past the building — meeting millennials wherever they live, on the future of the ocean.

Idea

Story first

Inspire positive action on a hard subject. Video storytelling was the first step.

  • Consumer-insight and cause-platform best-practice research

Solution

Six months, end to end

From vision and business model to journeys, staffing and the first films.

  • Vision, mission and digital strategy
  • Business model and customer journeys
  • Staffing and skills audit
  • First series of video stories

Outcome

A platform, not a website

Positive stories to share, challenges to learn about, and tools to take action with measurable results.

“They helped us better understand our audience, our new brand framework of science-based storytelling, and our ambition to generate digital revenue from brick and mortar. The site does more work for us than any team we could hire.”
