Dove "Waking up Hannah" Interactive Experience


client: Dove
agency: Ogilvy Toronto
launched: 2008
project type: website

Because we believe that most great ideas start in the shower, we teamed up with Ogilvy Toronto to create this interactive video experience for Dove’s new GoFresh line.
It presents a glimpse into the life of Hannah, a woman in her 20s dealing with familiar 20-something pressures: an over-demanding boss, a stuck-up sister, a drained checking account, and a highly anticipated blind date.
In this Sliding Doors meets Bridget Jones’s Diary adventure, the story unfolds across three different story lines—each featuring a different version of our main character in a different product-inspired mood (energized and work-focused; cool, calm, and beauty-focused; and refreshed, flirty, and socially focused). Along the way, users are invited to switch personalities for a realtime attitude adjustment.
Through this interactive narrative and a few fun extras along the way, users experience the subtle (and not so subtle) differences in her day that eventually end in a successful blind date.
