The Problem

Sustainability had become a core priority for global brands. Dr. Martens wanted to communicate the initiatives outlined in their new Sustainability Report in a way that would inspire both employees and external audiences.

The Outcome

  • Over 3,500 LinkedIn views of the animation

  • Reinforced Dr. Martens’ public commitment to sustainability with an accessible and memorable creative execution
