CHALLENGE
Bayer partnered with Mina Guli’s Thirst Foundation to support the Run Blue initiative, a global series of marathons across India to raise awareness about water scarcity. The brief was to design and develop a microsite that could educate, engage, and convert awareness into participation while showcasing Bayer’s contribution to the cause. The challenge was to create a seamless experience that was visually engaging, easy to navigate, and capable of driving real action.
STRATEGY / BIG IDEA
Under my guidance, my team envisioned a digital space that would blend storytelling, participation, and education. The microsite was designed to function not just as an information portal but as a movement hub, connecting awareness with impact. We structured it around interactivity—inviting users to explore Bayer’s initiatives, learn about the water crisis, and become active contributors. Every element of the site was crafted to transform visitors into participants through immersive storytelling and gamified engagement.
EXECUTION
My team designed and developed a modular, user-friendly microsite that integrated education, participation, and community features. The site included dynamic sections such as the marathon schedule, water initiatives, photo gallery, and registration portal. Interactive elements like CTA-driven sliders, explainer videos, live social media walls, and animated roadmaps brought the experience to life. We also built a quiz module with water-related questions to deepen user awareness. To complement the microsite, we created short explainer videos and case studies that highlighted Bayer’s sustainability efforts across India.
OUTCOME
The microsite recorded over 11,000 total users and more than 45,000 page views, with strong repeat engagement and positive feedback from the Bayer team. It successfully brought together education, awareness, and participation in a single digital experience. The campaign was praised for its vibrant design, smooth functionality, and the way it transformed a global CSR initiative into an interactive community platform. This project reinforced my belief that digital experiences, when designed with purpose, can turn sustainability campaigns into shared human stories.
