Hornet's Prime Day celebration is back and stronger than ever!
To celebrate Amazon's Prime Day, the 2020 campaign unfolded with a twist - a departure in technique from stop-motion to CG, and a shift in process, entirely animated remotely. Yet, in the hands of director Peter Sluszka and his team, the magic of campaigns past endured. For years we have been entrusted with crafting the narrative for Amazon's greatest sales event, a testament to the enduring trust the retail giant places in Hornet's creative prowess. Each year, the challenge is met with unfettered enthusiasm, marking a long-lasting partnership that thrives on innovation and exploring what's outside the box.
