Write a short summary of what happens in the digital or ambient execution or campaign.
A special paintjob was commissioned to paint an S7 airplane with the Siberia branding and a Siberian pine on its tail. Originally blue, the new Siberia Airlines airplane merged with S7 Airlines' trademark green which made sense as this campaign was all about saving trees. The new logo replicated the original, using the same Soviet-era serifs. As Amazon and Siberia were engulfed in flames, the rebranded airplane served as the largest outdoor advert about the wildfires in Siberia.
Cultural / Context information for the jury
Russian media are largely controlled by the government. The issue of Siberian wildfires was ignored in the news because the local government in Siberia refused to take action in time — and when they did, the wildfires were too large to control. As a result, Moscow decided to sweep the issue under the rug. This is why Russia ended up in a Catch-22 situation, when everybody talked about the wildfires online, but information was kept secret offline. We needed to hack this agenda, so that the word Siberia was almost too big to ignore.
