2019 started with the ultimate bang. We had so many exciting projects on the go and were super jazzed for all of them, especially Jurassic Forest.

About the Park:

For those that don’t know about Jurassic Forest, it is a seasonal tourist attraction located minutes away from Edmonton on Highway 28. Its located in a mature boreal forest and contains dozens of life size Dinosaurs, two kilometres of discovery trails, an adventure playground, mini golf course, a concession, a learning centre and gift shop. Its a great forest adventure and the ultimate way to spend a day with the family.

The General manager and director of marketing at Jurassic Forest came to us near the “end” of our first winter in need for a commercial. Greg and Andi were so down to earth, easy to chat with and were open to all of our ideas. They had an incredible opportunity and budget to have a 15 second commercial to play in almost every Edmonton cineplex theatre. Our vision was to entice the audience in that screening. Showing viewers the adventure that awaits locally, in Edmonton’s backyard.

Marketing and Creative:

As a team we decided to mix it up a bit, and show it from the Dinosaurs perspective, of the child entering their park. Our talented graphic designer (who happens to be a huge dinosaur buff) went to town sketching out an incredible story board. Followed by our executive producer converting it to vector animation, and enhancing the viewers experience with exciting sound affects. We strived to make the 15 second commercial impactful, as it was released a couple weeks before the Season’s grand opening.

Our goal was to appeal to families with children and encourage a sense of curiosity about the park. We wanted them to want to know more, so we included the website in the closing scene. Jurassic Forest is hugely underrated and is a paradise for parents and children. Here, kids can learn about artifacts, and the evolution of humans, dinosaur facts as well as be entertained by life size animatronic versions dinosaurs. The Prehistoric park is designed for visitors to learn, discover and explore. The park provides exceptional educational programs aligned with Alberta’s curriculum, corporate events and even does Birthday party packages.

A Rawring time:

This project allowed us to relive our childhood, delve back into our youth and have the ability to create, design and play with dinosaurs. Jurassic Forest, thank you for the opportunity, we had so much fun and cannot wait to play a work party at the Park!
