Voiced by iconic actress/comedienne, Dawn French, our festive Fairy character is back, alongside Dawn, in the flesh!

The Mill team headed to Outernet London this morning for the launch of The Zero Malaria Experience, developed and built by The Mill Creative Director, Will MacNeil, and our incredible Experiential Entertainment Team. The data-led Experience uses new research to allow guests to select different combinations from a ‘toolbox’ of cutting-edge innovations to demonstrate how when used together, many millions of lives can be saved from malaria. Mark Benson, President of The Mill said, “we are passionate about harnessing new technologies to tell stories… When it came to telling the story of malaria, our feeling was that a new approach could drive a stronger set of messages. Something bold and beautiful, but firmly rooted in facts; a rich tapestry of data that encapsulates the terrible reality of the disease.” Take a look! Malaria No More #ZeroMalaria
