Holland America Line

Bringing the Heart and Soul of Holland America Line to Life. We were tasked with creating a series of Brand Films and TVCs that would deeply resonate with Holland America Line’s Australian audience, whilst encapsulating the heart and soul of the HAL brand.

The inspiration for this campaign came from a touching letter written by a past guest, detailing unforgettable memories from their countless voyages with Holland America Line. This genuine piece of storytelling became the foundation of our narrative, centering around Roger, a devoted HAL guest. Roger’s eloquent poem, penned during his journey, served as the perfect vehicle to transport viewers into the world of Holland America Line.
