Working thru Toronto agency The Garden, director/illustrator Emmanuelle Walker and WIZZ channel the style of impeccable editorial illustrations into a series of surreal vignettes for one of Canada’s largest investment management firms.
Lindsay Eady, ECD at The Garden: “The first campaign proved that behaving ‘out of category’ captures attention. This year, we wanted to use the inventiveness of that world to bring more of Mackenzie’s innovative approach to life.
“Animation allowed us to make complex stories like energy transition or quantitative models clearer and more visceral while maintaining the distinctive style that builds brand recall”.
