A wild, animated ride through Portland’s food, drink and culture

Portland is one of those rare US cities that’s bursting with character. What better way to express its distinctive personality than with a series of mixed media animations celebrating Stumptown’s beer, food, shopping and general quirkiness?

As a collaboration between Portland’s own Wieden + Kennedy, New York’s Blacklist, and Paris’ WIZZ Design Studios, led by director CRCR, the “Travel Portland” spots are swirling masterpieces of typography, cel animation and mixed media filmmaking.

The eclectic, hand-crafted approach to each spot is a fitting echo of Portland’s earthy cultural vibe.
