SENSORY TRANSLATORS

THE AMBIENT INVASION

MECHANISM

Create atmosphere and mood that the viewer 'enters' rather than observes.

? THE QUESTION

"What environment can we create that people feel they've stepped into?"

PROCESS

Work through these questions to generate ideas:

  1. What space does our benefit belong in?
  2. What lighting, weather, or air quality embodies our truth?
  3. What time of day is our benefit?
  4. What ambient sound would be playing?

EXAMPLES

Ideas in this space might look like:

  • Coffee ad where you can almost smell the morning kitchen and feel the warm mug
  • Luxury resort where the humidity and salt air seem to seep through the screen
  • Fireplace streaming service creating warmth in cold subway stations
  • Bookstore ad that makes you smell old paper and feel library silence
