Northrop Grumman
“Launching the Webb Telescope”
The first Webb Telescope images were a moment all of humanity could celebrate. And we wanted Northrop Grumman to get the credit they deserved for building it. So we built a campaign that brought the Webb to people everywhere.
We created a movie trailer for the real cinematic feel, developed a cheeky OOH campaign that poked a (little) fun at Apple, created an AR experience where you could see the Webb full-scale – even take a selfie with it, and brought that experience through an in-person event in key DC our key DC market.
The results
70mm impressions across the campaign
OOH Earned PR: AdWeek, AdAge, MediaPost, TheDrum engagements in 48 hrs
Trailer: earning 3.5M impressions
