AIRBNB HOLIDAY GIFT CARDS
Gift cards have a reputation for being uninspired gifts, exchanged for unneeded sweaters or chain-restaurant grub. Airbnb gift cards are different—they’re a portal to amazing places, a ticket to new memories,
a doorway to magic.
We wanted these spots to capture that sense of wonder, so we partnered with Nexus Studios on stop-motion films. Every element of every scene is handmade and shot practically (and painstakingly)—check out the behind-the-scenes film to get a feel for the process.

MADE POSSIBLE BY HOSTS
The idea was to showcase Airbnb's inventory in a inspiring way that stays true to their brand. By sifting through hundreds of images from their listing archive, we crafted mini collages that tell little visual stories. From a mesmerizing desert landscape composed of homes from around the world, to an hourglass made from charming A-Frame country houses.
