The problem

Hard landscaping suppliers, Marshalls asked us to help them shout about the ways their customers can increase biodiversity in their gardens. The explainer animation was used on their stand at BBC Gardener’s World Live at the NEC, dedicated to sustainable garden choices. To increase the animation’s longevity, we created a version for the event and another for Marshall’s social feeds.

 

Our solution

We shared some simple tips to help increase biodiversity in your garden. Using Marshalls’ brand colours, we developed bright, friendly designs showing different scenarios in different garden styles. This all grew engagement with environmental landscaping choices, showing that encouraging varied wildlife into your garden is achievable for the audience, no matter the size of their garden. The accessible style reflects the approachable tone of the script, making biodiversity relevant to everyone.

Eventful animation.

BBC Gardener’s World Live is one of the UK’s largest consumer gardening events for visitors to discover garden inspiration and advice. It’s packed full of fantastic suppliers, so our animation was eye-catching and helped the Marshalls garden stand out to visitors walking past. The film complimented Marshalls’ Sustainability garden, helping build brand recognition and showcase their landscaping products. It was really well received, helping homeowners to consider nature with their landscaping choices.
