Los Angeles World Airports (LAX)

A three-word solution to a $14B problem.

Los Angeles International Airport had a problem.

Actually, it had $14 billion worth of problems—and 13 years of construction to solve them.

For travelers, that meant noise, detours, delays, and a whole lot of “sorry for the inconvenience.”

So how do you ask millions of people to put up with the mess without making them hate you for it?

LAX is Happening.

Three words turned construction from something happening to travelers into something happening for them.

Instead of apologizing for the chaos, we gave people a reason to see it as progress. Humor, useful updates, and a clear story helped turn frustration into curiosity about what was coming next.

The result: better sentiment, more anticipation, and a campaign that made a $14 billion construction project feel a little more human.

Sometimes the best way through a big problem is a very small idea.
