The daycare film that went viral
Digital content strategy and production
The task
The Ministry of Education needed to bring attention to the importance of skilled and passionated daycare workers. The focus was also to raise the job’s popularity among men.
Insights
All studies underline the importance of talented caretakers in our early years and the high value growing up around both men and women brings to childhood.
The execution
Instead of focusing on the work inside a child care centre, we chose to focus on our collective memories of being a kid in kindergarten. This focus gave the campaign a broader audience and became relevant for us all. Also by having real people talking about actual personal experiences, we were able to create a story that transcended the advertising noise and became a piece of significant storytelling.
The results
We created an intimate story that speaks to your heart and engages you and were able to reach more than 1,5 million Danes just within the first week after the online release.

The execution
Force of Nature wanted to give Nordisk Film Biografer ownership of the position as the cinema for real film lovers. We share their passion for film, and because of that: We of course deliver the best surroundings for enjoying movies.
Force of Nature created a campaign centred on the strong emotions we experience in the darkness of a cinema. Emotions so infectious they remind us all about the great experiences we have had in the cinema. The campaign was executed with the help of acclaimed photographer Casper Sejersen and film director Klaus Spendser to ensure the right emotional feel. The campaign headline is: Dine øjeblikke (Your Moments).
The results
The campaign performed well with an excellent showing in brand recognition and relevance, along with a very high degree of call-to-action in the target group.

With the aim of sharing among friends and fellow fans to remind them of the upcoming premiere of the new film.
The execution
Force of Nature created a short teaser film with a strong combination of the movie’s DNA and a local setting: a short film portraying the iconic Mockingjay logo in flames, set amid the streets of Copenhagen. Whether the burning Mockingjay was real or a stunt was never revealed, as the story itself needed a life of its own.
The results
More than 400,000 fans saw the teaser film within the first two weeks. The film was featured on YouTube as well as the official The Hunger Games Denmark Facebook page, where the post reached the highest ever involvement in terms of likes, shares and comments.

LONDON MEETS TOKYO
Re-positioning concept and event execution
The task
The English fashion brand Superdry was not getting enough attention from Danish fashion editors -therefor the brand wanted Force of Nature to reposition their label as a relevant brand in the industry and to important trendsetters.
The execution
At the time of the event, Copenhagen was buzzing with new exclusive pop-up restaurants. These were important don’t-miss-out events for city trendsetters. By looking at the core target group (fashion directors, writers, bloggers, etc.) and their respective passions, the concept was to create an event they surely wouldn't miss.
Force of Nature launched a one-day-only pop-up restaurant - LONDON MEETS TOKYO - in Copenhagen and invited the fashion A-list as a target in the re-branding strategy and made Superdry the hub of the event. The restaurant was an English-Japanese fusion kitchen with references to the brand’s identity: English tailoring meets Japanese standards of quality. The restaurant was placed at a central Copenhagen dry cleaner’s establishment. The venue functioned as a visual reference to the Japanese, running sushi restaurants. The hook was: brand styles were presented on the carousel instead of sushi.
The results
The one-day-only pop-up restaurant by Superdry attracted 48 of the most important people on the Danish fashion media scene. They documented the evening heavily on social media. Within a three-month period, Superdry had an 80% increase in media coverage. This was made especially evident from the amount of styles we lent out.
