Consisting of three interconnecting components— the Garden of Light, spring concert series, and floral theme décor—the month-long national campaign focused on multi-sensory and physical vs. digital engagement. Requiring a staggered, yet timely roll-out, and detailed logistical planning, the celebration of all things spring touched down at the following primary locations: Sherway Gardens, Fairview Mall, Chinook Centre, Rideau Centre, and Promenades St. Bruno. “The message of [the campaign] is simply to deliver immersive experiences through our colorful activations, uplifting sounds, and performances inspired by the season, spreading joy and optimism to guests visiting our centers,” said Craig Flannagan, VP, Cadillac Fairview. With one appearing at all five Canadian shopping centers, the Garden of Light featured thousands of LED flowers (between 1,600 and 4,000, depending on size and location) and a highly interactive arrangement for play. Serving as the centerpiece of the campaign, the series of bright and brilliant installations appealed to sight, sound, and touch. By clicking on available touchpads, visitors had the power to activate a pre-programmed light show starring a variety of color and pattern reactions. The best part: there was no need to be physically present to join in the fun.
