Sukiennice “Secrets Behind Paintings”

The Sukiennice Museum in Krakow is one of the oldest museums in Poland and it was being re-opened after a complete renovation. The problem however was that the young people did not find the 19th century Polish art interesting. Leo Burnett Warsaw was given the challenge to attract this young audience to the museum. So they designed a campaign to engage the young audience with the “New Sukiennice” augmented reality app. This museum app brought the paintings to life and showed their stories via short films.

The app played a central role in the integrated campaign that included billboards, social media and e-cards. The buzz generated by the campaign attracted 20% of Krakow’s population to the museum!

Jeep Compass

One of the oldest and most effective ways to sell a product is with a good demonstration. Leo Burnett Brussels took this approach and gave it a fresh, fun spin. They strapped some cameras on a few Jeep Compasses and set out to discover the most remote post locations they could find. Direct mailers were then shipped from these far-flung places that pointed recipients to a site where they could follow the journey and see the Compass in action.

It was a simple idea with a big impact. Take a look below…

This is a great piece of Augmented Reality for WWF aimed at raising awareness around the plight of the siberian tiger, created by Leo Burnett Moscow.

WWF printed thousands of tiger t-shirts and distributed them online and to key stores in Moscow featuring specially placed AR video mirrors that would instantly activate the AR experience the moment a tiger t-shirt was detected. And at that moment, the experience became quite graphical to anyone wearing the t-shirt…complete with bullet wounds, huge amounts of blood and sound effects to match it.
