Three Knorr instant rice and meal cups: Mexican Rice & Beans, Three Cheese Mushroom Risotto, and Chicken Fried Rice, each with branded packaging and food visuals.

THE BRIEF

Knorr was launching three new rice cup flavours into a market of busy commuters who don't stop. The activation needed to earn attention in under three seconds, at Union Station, one of Canada's highest-traffic transit hubs, during peak commute.

Sunnii Studios created the creative execution, designing and formatting the activation graphics, QR code integration, digital signage, and the complete visual environment of the stand. Every visual decision was built around one thing: stopping someone mid-stride.
