The NFT collection will be themed around the company’s 130th anniversary and Hong Kong, done in collaboration with local illustrator Yobe. The design of the digital artworks will feature various aspects of life showcasing local culture and traditions, according to Chris Fung, chief client and marketing officer of Sun Life Hong Kong.

The teaser video of the campaign reveals the number of themes featured in the NFTs including Hong Kong local food collection, “Cha Chan Teng” collection, dim sum collection, limited edition for celebrating 130th anniversary and more.
