Solution

The campaign showcases the natural wonders of the Pantanal through a dedicated National Geographic photography assignment led by wildlife photographer Filipe DeAndrade.

Through the North and South Pantanal, he captured meandering rivers, vast floodplains, and rich grasslands through the lens of the five senses.

Two content galleries explored the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, brought to life with immersive storytelling through our Destination Guides and amplified through social media including Instagram reels, Instagram image posts and link posts across Facebook.
