Winner of the Gold Muse Creative Award for Best Virtual Event.
Winner of the Summit Creative Awards for Best Motion Graphics.

With in-person conventions on hold, our teams got to work on the ultimate virtual anime convention for fans worldwide. To spread the word about our expo, we created an energetic explainer following our computerized mascot, "Hime," as she explores the online experience's content-rich world of free-to-attend online panels, presentations, concerts, kittens, and more. Our completed spot worked to radiate positive energy amid a troubled time, and warmly welcome anime fans to an engaging, immersive set of experiences.
