Timberland nature playground
22 January 2010 Timberland nature playgroundEnvironmental Branding Campaign
October 2009
This is an environmental branding project for Timberland. The objectives of this project is to visually express the brand in an environment without using its logo and merchandise. The project also aims to enhance Timberland corporate social responsibility and the importance of reforestation. The concept is to bring nature landscape into an urban city and to encourage city dwellers to experience outdoor activities.
This environmental branding project needs to be implemented at the plaza outside Raffles City, at the junction of North Bridge Road and Stamford Road. The gray concrete façade of Raffles City is transformed into a green nature landscape through the use of canvas, while the granite tiles of the plaza is covered with portable grass turf. In line with Timberland environmental friendly and socially responsible policies, the brand is visually expressed through placement of tree trunks used for reforestation tree pruning programmes. Boulders and recycled rubber tyres are strategically placed to create a simple rugged playground and at the same time, not obstructing pedestrian traffic flow. Swings constructed using recycled rubber tyres allows passer-bys to rest and chill in comfort.

Drawing / Colouring Competition

It could be held independently by STAEDTLER or in collaboration with schools, museums or other events. For this competition, a simplified package of primary colours half-size colour pencils would be provided. This allows children to test the qualities of the watercolour pencils.

Winning entry of this drawing / colouring competition will be used for the limited edition packaging design. Plus, all shortlisted works of the competition could be exhibited to promote the brand and showcase the talents of these children. Furthermore, winner of the drawing / colouring competition would be rewarded with STAEDTLER LUNA products.

Limited edition packaging design based on winning entry
Free Colour Pencil Collection
Empty packaging box imprinted with message "filled up this box with STAEDTLER LUNA Colour Pencils" and free colour pencil can be distributed to target audience at places where they frequent, like Bras Basah where there is a high concentration of art students, artists and designers. A campaign calendar indicating what colour will be distributed at a specified place and time. This type of "free gift" marketing technique would most probably attract much attention and hype. To complement this marketing strategy, the packaging can be the winning entry of the abovementioned children drawing / colouring competition.
