Insight & Idea

Have you ever seen purple sunflowers?

We’ve created an Instagram filter that mimics the color vision of bees, allowing people to check the bee-friendliness of their garden.

Situation

The increasing urbanization is leading to less habitat for wild bees in Europe. Can a DIY-store contribute to protecting endangered species?

Task

We built in on OBI’s expertise in terms of garden improvement – but this time, not just for humans, for bees.

Solution

An Instagram filter that allows users to see nature from bee-perspective. Entertaining and informative creator content generated the necessary buzz surrounding OBI’s garden expertise.

How ist works?

Branded Filter  

Bees only head for plants whose colors they can perceive.

OBI helps change perspective – with an Instagram filter that mimics the color spectrum of a bee and shows the motif in UV light.

Brand Purpose  

More than just a statement for sustainability

With ‘See like a bee,’ we informed and empowered customers to create bee-friendly gardens together with OBI.

User-generated content for bees

Thousands of users took pictures of their gardens or balconies using the OBI filter, shared them with their community, boosting awareness for the bee-perspective among millions.

Insert

From digital filter to real product

Plants and products selected by bees were featured in a bespoke mailing: the OBI Bee Brochure – by bees for bee enthusiasts.
