HISTORY OF US

Giving 6,000 Years of Art a Makeover

GOOGLE

Google Arts and Culture wanted to raise awareness of Musuem Island with millennials and help them experience 6,000 years of historic art for themselves.

We designed the core concept and content playbook for #Historyofus – a social storytelling campaign that makes relevant connections to the art with very modern social issues including body image, identity, and gender equality – in an original "only Google can do" way.

We created the core idea of the #Historyofus campaign and storytelling framework.

Early concept art.

Social posts on both Google Arts & Culture and Berlin Island Museum owned and operated channels.

Stories were housed on Google Arts & Culture.
