Guerrilla Gardening urban gardening Strongbow social media Story telling

At Cloudfactory we wouldn’t just do advertising for clients and their brands. Instead we would give them a purpose. In Heineken's Strongbow case: 'Inspire the world to reconnect with nature by doing something meaningful and real – mix nature back into urban life.' We helped Strongbow help people transform their cities with guerrilla gardening, apple tree planting, urban beekeeping, you name it. Scrolling down you'll find platform designs, smart budget documentaries of urban greening initiatives Olivier Teepe's team and I together made, art projects we conceived, social media content like cinemagraphs and teaser videos we shot, as well as really big budget TVCs. Enjoy the scroll!

In Amsterdam we created concepts for projects that (sponsored by Strongbow) would help communities in cities like Johannesburg, Toronto, Lissabon, Bucharest and New York City become a little greener by means of our creativity. Olivier and I also traveled the world to help realize our next concepts with the local artists and local environmental initiatives we selected for Strongbow to fund.

next: the Lisbon Act

During research we did for relevant projects to support, I learned that keeping bees in Lisbon was illegal and because of that were in the danger zone there, as a species! I also got acquainted with the work of street artist Bordalo II, who picks up plastic waste from Lisbon's streets to create awesome portraits with it of endangered animals. Another 'NatureRemix' project was born:
