Meta
Journey to Greatness

Brands have a challenge when telling emotionally-driven stories. You can almost hear the record scratch when the product gets forced in. We were determined to integrate the product into the story seamlessly.

Meta came to us to build a suite of creative assets to celebrate athletes and para-athletes, showing the trials they went through to become truly great. And they wanted to organically weave the products of Facebook and Instagram into the story.

We came up with a device that included two key aspects of the products: community building and communication. We bookended the piece with how these athletes presented themselves on their social platforms as they were training early in their career and as they competed, showcasing their growth through the product.

The Solution

Organic placement of the product wasn’t just a narrative necessity. We also had to make sure it fit into the visuals, as well. UI elements were broken up and designed into the environment, visually introducing characters and showcasing the power these platforms have to bring people together.

Meta had a strong desire to tell this story inclusively, both on screen and behind the scenes. Our diverse team focused on getting the details right, so that we portrayed para-athletes both with authenticity and respect. We were intentional in every stage of production to make sure we correctly visualized how a para-athlete would swim or how a uniform would fit with prosthetics.

We had to be just as methodical with our process. Separate deliverables were needed for both Instagram and Facebook, and each piece of creative needed to reflect that brand’s visual identity. We developed a system that allowed us to swap out the color palettes and UI components, enableing us to produce a vast set of deliverables quickly.

In 15 weeks, we shipped two hero :60s, with a variety of cutdowns for each. We also collaborated heavily with Meta’s production team to build a tailored toolkit of project files. This allowed them to build their own static and motion assets or translate the creative into 32 languages.

Through intentional design, we helped Meta celebrate these athletes genuinely, intertwining the brand into the story.
