Oblong has teamed with the Brahma Kumaris to create a series of posters to help people feel a little calmer during the holiday shopping period.
Working together with people inside the Brahma Kumaris, Oblong spoke to psychologists and experts in art therapy to make sure the posters, when viewed and read, gave people a sense of calm.
Data was then used in the media buying process to make sure the posters have been placed in areas where people needed them most and as they felt the most stressed, certain areas of the CBD, shopping precincts, shopping car parks and the middle of suburban shopping centres were chosen.
Brahma Kumaris director, programs and events Gabrielle Martin said the team loves the calming shapes created by Oblong and the way they can create a little light for people at this very stressful time.”
Oblong founder and CCO Justin Ruben said this year has been difficult for a lot of people, with the cost of living crisis and various world events.
"Hopefully these posters can provide people with a little bit of calm, even when they’re running around the streets doing last minute Christmas shopping," he said.
The Brahma Kumaris are also planning an event at the Sydney Opera House in April which they hope will bring even more lightness to people’s lives.
