Overview

Background

The campaign aimed at increasing Pandora’s share of consumer’s mind (and sales) during the winter holiday buying season, by amplifying the rush of emotions of opening a Pandora jewelry box. The Task: Creating a larger than life immersive experience and playful moments of interaction for consumers that conveys the magical feeling of opening a Pandora Box. Addressing the strong connection between jewelry, memories and feelings in settings that delight all the senses. Each part of the experience portrayed a specific emotion connected

to jewelry, within a multisensory environment. Both creating emotional connections between brand and visitor and unusual photo opportunities to be shared on social media.

Idea

Opening a Pandora Box is the experience of releasing the love hidden in each box. The creative idea: a “Loves, Unboxed”-Playground, which travels through various German cities. A mobile pop-up experience that bring the Pandora brand to life in a unique way.

It quickly became clear that the pop up store had to attract attention with its appearance in the bustling metropolis. A scenery within huge oversized Pandora boxes that exaggerate the emotions felt while opening a Pandora box, should create WOW moments. So we created

a beacon of Pandora pink illuminated boxes. The exterior created a curiosity about what’s inside and a desire to enter. Inside the experience, the visitors found highly engaging environments showcasing a number of Pandora’s iconic jewelry pieces in several experience rooms. Every room portrays a specific emotion, has a multisensory entrance (=unboxing) moment, sound experience, plays with scale and provides unusual photo ops.

Strategy

The target audience were Lifestyle & Fashion Influencer, Consumer

(women adge 18 to 54 who are interested in fashion, shopping, accessories and jewelry), Pandora Fans.

After a PR-opening, the playground opens its boxes to the public, where visitors can experience the magic of opening a larger-than-life Pandora Box themselves.

On-site sales allowed visitors to act on their elevated sense of emotional connection between love and jewelry, the generation of social media content

The celestial love room offered the visual embodiment of the love we express with jewelry.
