Reinventing 3M's Innovation Story

To unify 3M’s brand voice across 55 global destinations, space150 was tasked with moving beyond static product displays to build a living "World of Innovation." We architected a scalable digital experience that connects global societal "Megatrends" to 3M's specific technologies. This wasn't just a one-off installation; it was a pilot for a global design system, proving that high-fidelity storytelling could be standardized yet flexible enough for local adaptation.

The 3M Innovation Center was created to show how 3M technological ingenuity impacts people’s lives everyday. The focus is placed on storytelling to show the true social impact of 3M’s scientific innovation.   The “A Brighter Hope” microsite tells the story of how a compact 3M projector was able to keep 33 trapped Chilean miners connected with the world above. For 69 days the only link they had to the outside world was 4.5-inch hole, an opening just large enough for a 3M mobile projector. Rescuers used the 3M projectors to send vital health care and survival guides, messages from loved ones, and even a soccer game to help the miners pass the time (although the Chilean team lost).

Keep it interesting. Let's chat.
