Design Solution:

The team created a traffic-stopping brand takeover of the Isabel Bader Theatre, a key Hot Docs Festival venue. The takeover included interior and exterior branding with an accompanying ice cream truck. Collateral assets such as pins, postcards and brochures were also distributed during the event. The takeover was successful in driving impressions, one on one interactions and downloads of the CBC Gem app, in addition to traffic to the CBC Gem Docs homepage and video views of the documentary channel streams.
