🏆 Platinum – French Design Awards
🏆 Gold – MUSE Design Awards
🏆 Platinum – Rome Design Awards

For all of us this was not just a festival.

It was a celebration of light, culture, and creativity – with giant emoji® brand lanterns lighting up Bagua Mountain and bringing people of all ages together in the most joyful, unexpected way.

I am so incredibly proud of what our teams created together.

These awards are a wonderful recognition of the passion, imagination, and heart that went into this project. Thanks to Paulina Pérez Pérez, Pilar Avelar Fernández, and our long term agent Medialink Group Limited, Noletta Chiu, and her entire team.

Thank you to everyone who helped turn this into something truly special.
You brought the emoji® brand to life in a way that connects across cultures and generations.

Let’s keep creating moments that make people happy all around the globe 🌎 😊💡🏮!
