Overview

People in Hawaii wear a different kind of masks. By bringing the daunting situation we're all in during COVID and its symbol, a face mask, into a positive light, this campaign breaks the uncertainty of a pandemic into an actionable solution – flying to Hawaii – and encourages people to smile again.
