World Gallery was one of my favourite global campaigns. I love the purity of the concept—turning the world into a giant art gallery, and the purity of the execution—no pack shot, just a discreet logo: the photography and its author are the heroes.
This campaign was a global effort: the idea first sparked at the Tokyo office, was then picked up by a team in LA, before being redistributed to the whole network, so we all contributed to finding the best images out there, and crafting this simple thought into a cross-channel global campaign.
I was in charge of the print and digital print: not only supervising the search with my team, but also curating the images for each magazine, in order to be contextual.
This campaign has evolved since into something much bigger: it is now the platform for most iPhone communications, and has turned Apple into more than a technology brand: it has become a patron of the arts.
