Situation
When the world was at a standstill during the COVID-19 pandemic Cranbrook Institute of Science needed to stay relevant and active with its members and the community.
Solution
The Institute’s audience needed inspiration. Given the fact that this place-based amenity wasn’t fully operating during this time, we had to get creative. To keep the Institute top of mind, we developed an anthem video around the theme Science Will Always Be Here.
The dual meaning behind Science Will Always Be Here was symbolic of the times: ‘here’ meant not only that science will always be found at the Institute but also that science will always be ‘here for us’ during the most challenging times.
The video was created in partnership with Elkhorn Entertainment and launched through an integrated communication campaign on Siren’s PESO model to maximize exposure and impact.
