DHL Express knows that parcels are far more than objects to be shipped; they are emotional connections, bridging the gap between family members, friends, and business owners and customers. Sending or receiving something carries a deeper personal meaning. Recognising this, DHL Express wanted to show how they are more than just a logistics provider, but a partner that values the human stories behind every parcel.
To support this vision, we created a digital-first, globally adaptable toolkit that delivers a consistent yet customisable message across all regions. This toolkit included social-first assets designed to resonate with both individuals sending personal packages and small and micro-business owners. The goal was to establish DHL Express as the preferred delivery partner for both segments, emphasising that every parcel matters.
At the heart of this campaign is a flexible and evergreen creative concept, designed to remain relevant and engaging over time while allowing regions to adapt the messaging to local needs.
The creative framework highlights how DHL Express’ global reach isn’t just about delivering items, it’s about helping people stay connected across distances, improving lives and nurturing relationships. Customers trust DHL not only to deliver packages but to safeguard the emotional significance tied to each item, whether it’s a family heirloom, a thoughtful gift, or a vital business shipment.
The campaign conveyed this through a warm and human touch, showing that DHL approaches every parcel with empathy and care, understanding the importance of the connections they help maintain.
“The reason why I work with Something Big is the creative team. If you want creativity, then I have the right team for you.”

DHL Express was able to show how they go beyond just delivering parcels, connecting with the emotions behind each delivery. By focusing on trust, care, and empathy, they strengthened relationships with customers, making every parcel feel like a lifeline or a special connection, rather than just a package.
