Carrying out the circularity campaign
DS Smith approached us with a bold ambition: to transform the packaging landscape by minimizing the use of problematic plastics. Their initiative was aimed at pushing their clients towards adopting more sustainable, eco-friendly packaging solutions by showcasing the feasibility and benefits of their extensive portfolio of over 1,000 eco-friendly designs.
This endeavor was designed not just to meet, but to redefine industry standards, setting a new benchmark for sustainability in packaging.

Ideation
Unboxing a greener future
Our creative concept, "Unboxing Reinvented," transformed the typical unboxing video into a powerful educational tool. Instead of merely showcasing products, our videos dissected the features and benefits of DS Smith's sustainable packaging. We reinvented the traditional unboxing experience to serve as a powerful platform for showcasing DS Smith's sustainable packaging solutions.
Our videos were designed to be informative and engaging, highlighting how each packaging solution not only meets but exceeds traditional packaging standards by incorporating sustainability at every step. By transforming how products are presented, we aimed to educate consumers and industry stakeholders about the benefits and necessity of sustainable packaging.

Creation
Crafting a style and narrative that drives attention
In the creation phase, we focused on producing high-quality unboxing videos that did more than entertain—they educated. Each video was carefully scripted to highlight the environmental and economic benefits of DS Smith’s sustainable packaging solutions. By demonstrating these benefits through the familiar format of unboxing videos, we connected with the audience on a platform they understood, enhancing their learning experience and driving home the message of sustainability.
This innovative twist on traditional content not only highlighted the features of the packaging but also illustrated DS Smith’s role as a leader in sustainable packaging solutions.
