OVERVIEW

Description

Reinforce the brand cultural leadership of bringing happiness and hope by creating the first River Caravan to bring Christmas´ spirit where has never been before.

Execution

IMPLEMENTATION

We created and built a "130 mts / 426ft" long boat. Working with local goverments, we built events at every port including music, sampling, fireworks, dancers and local artists.

We did lead government entities, nautical, tourism and security to assess the viability of the project.

Over the building process more than 2000 pieces recreated Christmas moments with help of large scale figures 9mt/27ft of height and 2300mts/1.5Miles of led lighting.
