Embracing the harmony between advertising and the natural world, Nature Shapes Britannia redefines outdoor advertising by working with nature rather than against it. This innovative biodegradable out-of-home (OOH) campaign features billboards that seamlessly mold to the contours of surrounding trees, creating a striking visual metaphor for Britannia’s commitment to adapting to nature rather than forcing nature to adapt to it.
More than just an eye-catching execution, the campaign embodies the brand’s philosophy of sustainability and responsible growth. By integrating organic shapes and materials into its billboards, Nature Shapes Britannia not only minimizes environmental impact but also reinforces the message that nature is an integral part of the brand’s identity.
Building on the success of Nature Shapes Britannia, Britannia and Talented, in collaboration with Coral Media and MOMS Outdoor, are taking their commitment to sustainable advertising a step further. They are now open-sourcing the Nature Shapes Britannia manual—a comprehensive guide that documents the entire process, from ideation to execution, for future advertisers looking to create billboards that coexist with nature rather than disrupt it.
This initiative shares the extensive research, learnings, and trial-and-error methods involved in designing billboards that fit seamlessly around trees—without cutting them down. The team meticulously scouted resilient trees, mapped their organic silhouettes, and engineered billboards that didn’t just stand beside nature but became an integral part of it. Now, they are handing over this knowledge to brands, agencies, and media planners, enabling them to launch their own Pedh Partnerships at the handpicked sites identified through this project.
The Nature Shapes Britannia manual serves as a blueprint for a new way of thinking about outdoor advertising. Whether you’re looking to replicate this eco-conscious approach or simply curious about what went into it, the guide breaks it all down—from selecting the right trees and designing around their natural forms to sustainably mounting the billboards. More than a campaign, this is a movement—one that challenges the industry to rethink its relationship with nature and embrace a more responsible, innovative way to communicate with audiences.
