Hidden Worlds exhibit marketing

Our marketing team and curatorial/exhibit team worked closely with the marketing team at LAIKA to craft this new exhibit. When it came to marketing the exhibit, we sought to showcase the characters from their films that had the highest recognition.

While many of the films told the story of dual worlds conflicting and co-existing, the exhibit also told the story of the hidden world that lies behind the painstakingly handcrafted scenes. We leaned into imagery showing the tunnel that connected two worlds in Coraline, often paired with stills or photography of the puppets and sets.
