Air Ink

Introducing Air-Ink, the first ink made from air pollution.

At Marcel, we worked with Tiger Beer and scientists to capture soot from vehicle exhausts. This was turned into safe, high-quality ink.  

We sent Air-Ink to street artists around the world, resulting in 1000+ artworks and $4.6 million USD in earned media. 

On social, we created bespoke content for multiple markets, translating into multiple languages and targeting different areas of interest in every market.
