➖ New work for KONE. Our film ‘A Night at the Airport’ for KONE began with the goal of creating a season’s greeting that resonates globally, even in cultures that don’t celebrate Christmas. The outcome is a heartwarming little story about the magic of Christmas without conventional western ideas of the holiday season.

“We were delighted to collaborate with Finavia, an important customer of ours, in creating this holiday story. Smooth people flow is essential during busy holiday season. KONE plays a key role in facilitating this at the architecturally beautiful and internationally awarded Helsinki Airport.” -Annika Payn, Head of Brand Experience, KONE

Using universal themes like acts of kindness and giving and receiving, the story follows an airport employee’s mission to return a lost stuffed animal to its owner. The lack of dialogue highlights emotion and works well for a global audience. A heartfelt reunion embodies both KONE’s and Finavia’s values of connection and care.
