PROCESS
Three Lyons Creative collaborated with Design Core and AIA to schedule video and photography shoots with the jurors reviewing the 20 finalists and later focused shoots with the 10 winners. 3LC then cut together two videos to promote Commerce Design: Detroit and 10 business profile videos of the winners, each with flowing motion graphics in the Design Core brand and base-y, modern beats tailored to each business. In addition, 3LC covered video and photography AIA's Celebration of Architecture event and the Commerce Design: Detroit Awards Gala.
OUTCOME
The campaign has been hugely successful. Photos of winning businesses and live events have appeared in Crain's Detroit Business, Curbed Detroit, Great Lakes Design Magazine, and others. The Commerce Design: Detroit videos were shown across digital platforms garnering awareness of the competition and awards event. The profile videos were premiered at the Awards Gala, giving the audience a chance to see each space in smooth, clean motion, with the designers and business owners detailing their challenges and goals, breathed life into each winning project, and are now used by individual businesses to promote themselves and to gather support for the People's Choice Award. The campaign successfully celebrates neighborhood small business design and is a testament to Detroit's UNESCO designation globally.
