The bespoke experience designed by our agency

To make this operation a success, we worked closely with communications agency Matahari to design a bespoke game perfectly aligned with Moroccanoil’s brand objectives.

A team-based cultural investigation at the Musée d’Orsay

Guests were split into small teams to keep the flow through the galleries smooth. They explored the artworks through an interactive puzzle game, building team spirit and a touch of friendly competition along the way.

A scripted finale to reveal the product

Every stage completed brought the teams closer to the final twist. Solving the last mystery unlocked an exclusive box containing the new product — for great coverage and a memory that lasts.
