Introducing the worlds first sunglasses made from plastic that floated in the great pacific garbage patch, unboxed live from home.

This hybrid event was produced together with Piet-Harm Sterk (BIND) and Fleur Nieuwland (Dutch Matters). We worked closely together with The Ocean Cleanup organisation.

We gave advice, did the design and produced the event – which was held in Fokker Terminal in The Hague. We took the online visitors on a journey through the history of The Ocean Cleanup over the years.

With 45 floating LCD displays that had a live connection with The Ocean Cleanup team. A big curved LED wall, a full TV broadcast and live- streaming setup, we challenged ourselves to create a media experience that connected seamlessly with the message that needed to come across. In close collaboration with NEP Broadcasting we made it possible for the audience to join Boyan live on stage with the unboxing.

The Ocean Cleanup wanted us to make an event for the grand reveal of their brand-new invention, The Interceptor. We teamed up with The Ocean Cleanup and BIND to make it happen! It all came together on October 19th, 2019 in the most epic way possible!

We gave advise, designed, and produced the event that took place at the Broekman All-Weather terminal in Rotterdam. During the event, we took visitors on a journey through the recent developments in The Ocean Cleanup’s new river project. The Ocean Cleanup aims to rid the oceans of plastic, not only by cleaning up what is already out there but also by stopping new plastic from entering the ocean, as their motto states: “We need to close the tap.” They aim to work collaboratively with government leaders, individuals, and private corporations to tackle the 1000 most polluting rivers worldwide.

Collaboration is our catalyst for making a successful event. This was not different with this project. Together with Piet-Harm Sterk from BIND, we designed the journey within the terminal, including the stage design. A massive 40-meter-wide, state-of-the-art LED screen was suspended from one of the giant yellow cranes using special dynamic hoists, which was later raised to reveal the Interceptor hanging above it. Boyan told his story along the way and demonstrated the Interceptor live, making for an impressive event.

The Ocean Cleanup reached out to us in a very early stage in the organization of their NeXt Phase Event. A period of intensive research and fundraising made for soaring expectations. Fans, shareholders and potential investors were eagerly awaiting an update on the latest developments, so this event had to be the telltale-deciding factor. We were honored to use our expertise to create this moment for them.

Together with Piet-Harm Sterk (BIND) and Fleur Nieuwland (Dutch Matters) we formed a temporary collaboration within The Ocean Cleanup organization. We worked closely together to create the best results for The NeXt Phase Event.

We gave advice, did the design and produced the event – which was held in the iconic Werkspoorkathedraal in Utrecht. We took the visitors on a journey through the progress that The Ocean Cleanup had made over the years, making sure emphasis lay on the problem of a vast amount of plastic in our oceans.

With four heavyweight anchors, moving LED screens, a full TV broadcast and live- streaming setup (just to name a few) we challenged ourselves to create a media experience that connected seamlessly with the message that needed to come across. We helped The Ocean Cleanup achieve the result that they desired.
