Google ‘Curiosity Rooms’
Amplify, 72andSunny, Halpern, Essence & OMD
Google’s ‘Curiosity Rooms’ was part of a wider marketing campaign for the Google Pixel 3 device and this integrated campaign spanned out across experiential, media, retail, PR, influencer marketing, brand partnerships and ATL.
Its five-week retail foothold was designed to deliver on the Pixel's promise to "make every day more extraordinary". Guests could explore a pastel-pink laundrette that powered fashion discovery through AI, barrierless window displays, escalators converted into slides, car-wash selfie spots and a basement theatre that hosted 36 cultural events. Amplify innovated what retail design and brand experience can do together.
Designed to increase purchase consideration for the Pixel 3 on a mass scale, the campaign brought people back to the high street and established a foundation for content creation that reached an audience far beyond its physical location.
