Contiki - Sustainability in Brand Development

Contiki - Sustainability in Brand Development
Contiki - Sustainability in Brand Development

Contiki is a well-established brand, but this project reimagines it through a sustainability-focused lens, driven by in-depth research and a comprehensive redesign. With tourism contributing to 8% of global carbon emissions, the need for responsible, sustainable tourism is urgent. The goal is to transform the brand into a purpose-driven leader in eco-conscious travel. I crafted a powerful digital marketing strategy and designed a forward-thinking app that empowers travelers to make conscious, eco-friendly decisions, driving meaningful change in the industry.
