Visibility in urban spaces for greater solidarity

For Estée Lauder Companies, Live Lab translated the Breast Cancer Campaign into urban interventions over several years as part of a comprehensive awareness campaign. Everyday moments were amplified through digital channels, creating an impact that began locally and extended far beyond.

Different locations, formats, and channels followed a clear logic: visibility in public spaces generated attention, which was amplified through digital channels. This connection created recognition, a sense of closeness, and anchored the campaign for the long term – in the urban landscape and beyond.

2025 – Digital participation becomes physical

Over several weeks, a growing image emerged online from individual contributions. Hundreds of faces came together to form the central campaign symbol and became visible as a large-scale facade installation in the urban space. Digital participation and physical presence intertwined, amplifying the campaign’s reach.

2022 – A symbol over the city

For the 30th anniversary, the campaign’s commitment became visible on the Uetliberg. An installation emerged above the rooftops of Zurich, translating collective action into a precise symbol – as a moment on-site and as an image that spread far beyond the immediate setting.

2021 – Urban space becomes a stage

Lake Zurich became the canvas for the campaign. A staged light trail across the water transported the central symbol into a new context and generated significant visual attention. The visual imagery was specifically extended for digital channels and continued to have an impact long after the moment had passed.

2020 – Activation in everyday life

A temporary installation featuring a pop-up brand space and free breast cancer screening was set up at Zurich Main Station. Counseling, dialogue, and fundraising intertwined, making the topic immediately accessible. A media-effective indoor projection enhanced visibility and sent a clear message in public space.
