Objective

Cambium’s supply chain is a complex system with many intricate components that are challenging to capture. The company rescues trees from landfills, creates local manufacturing jobs, replants forests, enhances public health, and mitigates climate change. Our task was to visualize this supply chain and guide visitors through Cambium’s world using digital storytelling.

Interactive city

Cambium focuses on urban environments, saving wood from landfills and transforming it into a beautiful, carbon-negative material called Carbon Smart Wood™. To illustrate this process, we created a 3D cityscape that allows visitors to explore each step on their own.

Design principles

We implemented sustainability-first design principles to create a brand identity that aligns with Cambium’s environmental values. A warm, earthy color palette and a typeface reminiscent of traditional woodworking accentuate the brand’s craftsmanship and sustainability efforts, appealing to eco-conscious audiences.

Authentic moments, naturally captured

We partnered with Cambium to define the photography direction for the brand, incorporating crème skies, vibrant pops of orange, and earthy tones to ground the visuals in nature. Through a lifestyle-focused approach, we captured genuine human moments that invite viewers into the brand’s story and evoke a deep emotional connection.
