In a unique blend of technology and environmental advocacy, Grab, in collaboration with Heckler Singapore, has launched the ‘Wonder Fingers’ campaign. This initiative, crafted by BLKJ Havas, is a creative endeavor to raise awareness about the power of individual choices in fostering sustainability.
Animating for a Greener Future
- Engaging Campaign: ‘Wonder Fingers’ brings to life animated characters to promote eco-friendly actions.
- Digital Storytelling: The campaign includes short films and a personalized digital report, the Grab Personal Impact Story.
- Environmental Aesthetics: Heckler chose a paper-like 3D background to give the films a playful and engaging look.
The Art of Digital Advocacy
Heckler’s approach to this campaign was both innovative and challenging. Using Maya and Cinema4D, the team created photorealistic human fingers representing diverse ethnicities and backgrounds, complete with expressive, googly eyes and animated mouths. This blend of realism and whimsy aimed to connect with viewers on a human level, making the message of sustainability more relatable and impactful.
Challenges in Animation
Cody Amos, the creative director at Heckler Singapore, shared insights into the creative process. The team faced the unique challenge of dressing the finger characters, requiring them to reimagine these digits as full human bodies to determine the details of clothing and accessories. This meticulous attention to detail resulted in a captivating mix of animation and puppetry.

Impactful Results Through Simple Actions
The campaign highlights the significant environmental impact of using Grab’s services. Simple actions like tapping on a screen have led to substantial contributions to sustainability, including diverting over 8,100 tonnes of waste from landfills and planting 200,000 trees. These efforts are a testament to Grab’s commitment to forest conservation across Southeast Asia.
The ‘Wonder Fingers’ campaign by Grab and Heckler Singapore is more than just an advertising initiative. It’s a call to action for individuals to recognize the power of their choices in making a positive environmental impact. Through engaging storytelling and creative animation, the campaign aims to inspire a shift towards more sustainable practices in our daily lives.
