Our work on this live-action re-imagining of the Manga classic started in late 2016 following an approach from Giant Spoon, an agency working on behalf of Paramount.

“Become Major” went on to put thousands of fans, influencers and film-makers in the picture in cities including São Paulo, Hong Kong, Milan, New York and LA.
GHOST IN THE SHELL was also a big campaign for us in the UK, where we worked on a wide variety of print and digital display formats adapted from the international artwork and tool-kits.
See below for a couple of the digital placements, print samples coming soon:
