For this social media campaign, Milka brought four pairs of people from different generations, each connected by a shared passion: music, dance, food, or sport.

From the project's early days, two distinct art directions were developed: a textured photocollage aesthetic representing memories from the older generation and a more clean, illustrated style reflecting the perspective of the younger one.

Produced under a tight schedule, the four films were developed in tandem with the editing of the full pieces. Working closely with the agency and client, our founders spearheaded the storyboard, design, and animation across two sets of teams, always aligned but working autonomously.

The result is a series that celebrates how shared passions can bridge generational differences.
