Starbucks: Interactive Storefront

Starbucks is tempting passers-by to try its Tazo Tea with interactive storefronts in Vancouver and Toronto, two of its busiest locations.

On an interactive screen, the user guides a creature of their choosing (hummingbird, dragonfly or butterfly) on an adventure to find all the ingredients unique to each of the three Tazo teas being promoted by Starbucks.

The Media Merchants created the retail execution, from a concept by MediaCom and creative by Blast Radius.
