Execution
We created the biggest social video moment in pop history: 1DDay.
Two months of social challenges culminating in a seven hour livestream to hit every time zone, live from YouTube Space LA.
With digital innovation at its core and fans in the driving seat we partnered with Google+ & YouTube to make 1DDay an intimate and audience driven experience with the band.
Fans the world over powered everything, creating content to feature in 1DDay. A skydive, synchronized swim, 1D inventions and recording original theme tunes were just some of the ways fans proved their passion on the road to 1DDay.
Outcome
1DDay received over 770,000 viewers. Fans watched 4.2m hours of livestreaming and submitted 7.6m comments.
