Background
SKY-HI is a rapper and CEO of the label BMSG. Our challenge is to declare the first-ever collaborative song by all 15 BMSG artists. We turned the city into a branded experience.
Idea
We covered the city with a multitude of billboards stating “Entering a New Chapter” alongside mysterious hashtags.
Strategy
We activated people in the way only SKY-HI can do.
Execution
People searched the city for the billboards, shared and talked about them online. And “THE ANSWER IS FROM THE SKY”, BMSG tweeted.Then people shared their findings. Finally, after a few days, BMSG revealed the answer. All billboards could be connected to disclose the hidden message "9.17," which meant September 17th. People realized something would happen on that day. SKY-HI’s message created a big buzz. On September 17th, a new song called NEW CHAPTER was performed at the BMSG music festival and released as a surprise.
