Discover South Africa for The Guardian
Creating the awe of South Africa for Guardian readers
The challenge
How can the South African tourist board portray South Africa as the perfect destination for Guardian readers? We needed to create a rich experience to portray both the expected and unexpected sides of South Africa using a playful interface and the awe-inspiring imagery of South Africa.
The approach
Our collaborative approach allowed us to quickly prototype the site and work together with The Guardian to explore a split-screen functionality that would allow the audience to explore the ‘must do’ and ‘something new’ journeys in parallel. By building a rich and creative experience, we created a website with interactive intelligence to deliver a ‘storytelling style’ experience with an adventurous feel.

The result
The site has continually grown and evolved. Initially launched to run alongside a three month campaign, its success sees the site still live and updated regularly, 4 years later.
