Tweeting Badger Social Campaign

The Challenge:
We were asked to kickstart the Johannesburg Zoo’s social media presence and raise interest in their animals, causes and events. 
The Idea:
Through aninnovative use of existing technology we transformed BG, the zoo’s resident honey badger and mascot, into their official social media spokesanimal. By linking motion sensors to a pre-written bank of tweets, BG is able to share zoo life with the world. Tracked by his location, tweets are relevant to what BG’s doing at the time.
