The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon campaign connected the energy of the city, the scale of the event and the focus of an individual runner in one flexible motion system.

01 / The challenge

Connect the scale of the city to the focus of a runner

The campaign needed to hold both the collective energy of a major race and the individual momentum of each participant. It also had to remain consistent across multiple formats and durations.

02 / The approach

Build one motion language for the whole campaign

We built one motion language from 3D elements, graphic animation and the campaign artwork. Its pacing and transitions could move from the hero film into shorter campaign cuts without losing the character of the event.
