The Connected Island
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Experiential / Community Experience / 2020
Small islands are dying, and the rate of emigration meant Arranmore would be uninhabited by 2042. Three decided to transform Arranmore into a permanent brand experience, showcasing the benefits of a "Better Connected Life" to save the island. Three made Arranmore the first place to receive 5G, then used the network to transform the fishing industry, education, healthcare and tourism. It is Three's most successful campaign ever, increasing brand health and network scores. And Arranmore saw an 85% increase in tourism, a 20% economy growth and a reversal of 150 years of emigration.
