Godiva: 100 Years of Memories
We’re thrilled to share our latest work celebrating 100 years of Godiva! Our goal was to take viewers on a journey through decades of meaningful moments celebrated with luxury chocolate.

Godiva
/ overview
We wanted each decade to introduce a new ensemble of characters, authentic to their time period. But you may notice a returning cameo of narrator (and Gossip Girl icon) Leighton Meester! The backgrounds were integral to this project. By drawing huge inspiration from 101 Dalmatians (an all time fav) and classic Belgian comic books, we created environments that feel warm and tactile.
