An Advent to remember cultural treasures lost in 2016
It’s pretty easy to feel cynical about Christmas when your local Co-op plays Band Aid in September, but for a season that encourages us all to dream big, it’s extraordinary how unimaginative the majority of Advent merch actually is.
So helped Make It Red create something a little different. And with such a significant number of first, second and third generation pop icons dying out in 2016 it seemed the perfect opportunity to commemorate these legends with our own festive homage. Morbid Baubles was a dead Christmas tree advent calendar shrine. We directed the public to pay their daily respects during December via teaser posts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The website was accompanied by a limited edition 2017 calendar print highlighting the celebrities’ 1st anniversary death dates. These were sent out to our most treasured clients.
