Donkey & Elephant

Award: Shortlist

Shortlist / Animation / Mixed Media

CNN needed a campaign to kick off its coverage of the 2020 Election season. While other news networks played to the liberal left or conservative right, CNN wanted to be a destination for those more in the middle of America’s polarised political spectrum. FIG broke through the divisiveness by turning the Democratic and Republican mascots, the Donkey and the Elephant, into two longtime pals, rather than adversaries. The campaign harkened back to classic political newspaper cartoons with a distinct pen-and-ink style, brought to life with stop-motion clay models.
