Panda Express
Lunar New Year is such an important holiday in Chinese culture, rooted in hundreds of years of rich tradition. Panda Express has long invited guests to celebrate Lunar New Year with loved ones through good food and good fortune. With this multifaceted campaign spanning from a mobile game to physical goodies, we set out to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western cultures by helping those uninitiated with the holiday learn about some of its customs and symbolism; all the while encouraging everyone to come together around the dining table with those we love.
