Key objectivesA two-day offline pop-up multimedia experience themed around Hong Kong mornings was curated, tied to a specially created series of content stories to showcase Morning Studio’s capability of producing original and engaging online content of high standards.
DeliverablesIn collaboration with brand partner New World Development and cultural partner Victoria Dockside, the event celebrated Hong Kong’s daily beginnings, showcasing the city’s culture and history through a variety of artistic installations, multimedia exhibits, hands-on activities, and themed cuisine, all to provide an unprecedented opportunity for attendees to engage and explore the multifaceted topic of Hong Kong mornings. 

In addition to the GMHK pop-up event, the Morning Studio team showed its creative storytelling ability by producing multimedia content featuring local residents who embody Hong Kong’s morning spirit, profiling four of them on the dedicated web channel morningstudio.scmp.com/goodmorninghk
