Storytelling at its finest. Thank you Showpony for your support with this important work. 👏🏼
Why is your own story so often the hardest to tell? MACq 01 is one of Tasmania’s premiere luxury hotels. In addition to its stunning waterfront location, bold architecture and five-star facilities, it boasts 114 story themed rooms. These individual stories are inspired by characters from Tasmania’s convict history, its local folklore and popular culture. It's an innovative concept that makes for a truly immersive guest experience, but it’s also a complex story that, forgive the pun, was proving to be difficult to tell. Working closely with MACq 01 we developed the, ‘Where one Tasmanian story leads to another’ campaign platform. The campaign includes a 60 sec film and a dizzying array of social assets that juxtapose the hotel's unique physical attributes with some of the iconic stories that have helped shape them. Along with footage captured across Tasmania, we used historic images, cutting edge AI and a whole lot of imagination to bring this intriguing, impossible, dreamlike narrative to life. A massive thanks to Danika Porter and the MACq 01 Hotel team for their passion and bravery, and to our intrepid production allies at Oi Studios who kept saying ‘yes’ when we expected them to say ‘no’.
