As part of my job as assistant curator at the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities, I helped create an exhibition on Doggerland – a prehistoric landscape that currently lies submerged beneath the North Sea (I will put up a blog post on this soon). The exhibition is part of a larger research project, including lots of activities for the public such as find identification days and public lectures (read more on this here).
Given my experience running social media channels for other companies and groups, I was charged with setting up a social media project that would feature the preparations for the Doggerland exhibition, research on Doggerland and to share Doggerland finds done by avid amateur-archeologists along parts of the Dutch coastline.
I designed a bold graphic visual identity and set up a strategy geared towards connecting existing Doggerland enthusiasts as well as interest those as of yet unfamiliar with this archeological treasure trove lying beneath the North Sea.

Project Doggerland is made possible by a grant from the Mondriaan Fund. In addition, we collaborate with many others, both independent specialists and colleagues from institutions such as the Werkgroep Steentijd Noordzee which includes the RCE, Leiden University, Groningen University, the archaeological service of the municipality of Rotterdam, the Universities of Leiden and Groningen, the archaeological service of the municipality of Rotterdam, the Stone Foundation, the LUMC, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and various individual specialists. There is also collaboration with the geologists from Utrecht University and Deltares.
