The challenge was to make heavy shoppers aware that the more they buy unnecessary things, the more nature deteriorates through massive production, oil consumption, land clearings and the overall expansion of urban areas against nature and its resources. In order to create a buzz around this issue, they created pratical wallets, wich were distributed in front of malls and supermarkets. The wallet functions as a reminder for the consumers not to buy unnecessary products because they will contribute to the degradation of nature. Each of them had a print with nature scenery and a button depicting an animal. This way, every time one opened the wallet, the animal was deprived of their natural environment and left to die. They were offered to people leaving the malls and supermarkets with their shopping carts full of goods and were distributed together with a brochure containing maga-deals for heavy shoppers, from Supercharged cars to Residential areas built after land cleanings undertaken in the middle of a forest. The anti-consumerism wallets were part of a bigger campaign, along with radio commercials, brochures and a website.

The centerpiece of HBO Imagine is HBOimagine.com, an online universe that allows users to dive headfirst into an interactive story and game-like experience that deepens the more one explores it. There are over 41 pieces of content, including short- and long-form video, audio files, news stories, letters and images that are connected to each other, revealing more of the big picture with each click. Users can navigate the story by unlocking and viewing the content. HBO Imagine is also being realized in a multi-city outdoor installation called The Cube. The HBO Cube is a unique, new storytelling device that offers four different perspectives on the same scene simultaneously. In telling the same story from four distinct points of view, each side of the cube stands alone as an engaging film, and as one piece of a larger puzzle. As viewers move around the cube, they watch the story unfold from different perspectives, forming different perceptions, and often misperceptions, of the characters and plot. Only by watching the story unfold from multiple sides of the cube can one begin to see the bigger picture. The HBO Cube features two films, each 2 minutes and each played twice successively, on a rotating basis.

Thirteen thousand condoms were given at the event.
