Because of the 2020 global situation, more than 1.5B masks found their way to the ocean in that year alone. Alibaba Group, being one of the largest sellers of disposable face masks, wanted to provide a solution to the problem. The corporation believes that a necessary item that protects human life doesn’t have to be something that will cause devastation to the environment, so they partnered with WWF for Earth Day 2021 to generate more awareness about the issue. The campaign includes an event titled "Fading Sea Creatures", a shocking live performance by emerging artist Qiurui Du. The performance focused on jellyfish, the world's most resilient sea creature, to convey the message of how even the oldest animal on earth that survived calamities, mass extinctions, and outlived dinosaurs, may soon fall to the consequences of mask pollution. The performance featured Qiurui’s jellyfish painting which was on canvas made entirely out of disposable face masks. The painting was made with hydrochromic paint, which disappeared when the mask canvas was submerged underwater. The jellyfish painting reappeared when the mask canvas was removed from the water, conveying the message of how life will return to our seas when we remove the presence of masks from our oceans.

The United Nations have announced seizures of illegally sold pangolins have risen from 14,000 per year in 2014 to 142,000 in 2018, but also estimates that the number of pangolins actually killed from illegal trade is in the millions, making pangolins the most illegally trafficked mammal in the world. In July 2020, China upgraded the protection level of pangolin to national level Class I. However, the illegal trade of pangolin is still rampant. Seeing the need for public awareness and action to help the pangolins fight for their survival, dentsu mcgarrybowen China created a unique anthem and music video in hopes to gain the support from the Gen-Z audience. Instead of a traditional approach, the creative team used a new approach by manifesting the pangolins’ frustrations into an anthem and music video featuring Angry Pango, an exaggeratedly angry pangolin. The music video uses mixed visual languages to dramatise Angry Pango’s suffering and is soundtracked with melodic heavy metal and enraged lyrics – describing how humans hunt and tear them apart, to being accused of COVID-19, and even advising humans to live better lifestyles! Through this fantastical and raw music video, people are able to understand the severity of the situation for the pangolins and be motivated to take action by donating or simply sharing the music video.

BMW China gives every runner in the Shanghai marathon a personalized art piece by using their individual running data to celebrate their achievement, encouraging them to “LET THE WORLD SEE OUR ENERGY.” In China, BMW is not only one of the most beloved car companies but also has profound history with running. Thanks to BMW, if you run the Shanghai marathon this year you will get a personalized 3D art piece after finishing the race. Partnering with China’s most popular running apps such as CoDoon, JoyRun and Rejoice, BMW dove deep into runners data regarding speed, pace, distance and total calories burned. Then in collaboration with world class visual data artist Joshua Davis, BMW visualized their running data in a beautiful 3D way with codes, colors and shapes. For example cylindrical shapes represent the runner’s pace - the taller the cylinders the faster your pace. Color represents speed: red is slow, blue is medium and green is fast. By interacting and rotating their personalized art, runners can discover even more data from different angles.

Final Frontier and Taiko Studios produced Airbnb China’s Chinese New Year film, a touching animation demonstrating how the brand’s properties can become homes away from home at a time of year where young Chinese are finding it increasingly difficult to return to their family hometowns. Spring Festival is the most important date on the calendar in China, when families separated by work and life necessities reunite, traditionally in the town where the children grew up. Titled “Fu”, the three-and-a-half minute 3D animation tells the story of Jia Jia, a young nurse whose pursuit of her career dreams in the big city prevent her from returning to her hometown for Chinese New year, much to the disappointment of herself and her parents. Fortunately, Airbnb’s platform is on-hand to enable a unique solution. At the core of the film is the age old Chinese New year tradition of hanging a ‘Fú’ (meaning ‘blessing’) banner upside down, symbolizing "good luck comes", tying in to the overall campaign idea of turning traditional concepts on their head; in this case, 'home' coming to Jia Jia rather than the other way around.

For the PerrierXWild limited edition designed by artist Juan Travieso, Perrier transformed Shanghai's South Huangpi Road Metro station into a jungle with STDecaux. The pillars were decorated as giant trees with artificial treetops. When passengers walked by, the trees would light up gradually from the roots, and passengers would hear the lion roar. In addition, the limited edition, comprised of 6 bottles and 5 lifestyle objects, was displayed in the station.
