The visibility Puerto Rican music get is so enormous, that in 2018, 27 of the top 100 most watched videos on YouTube were from Puerto Ricans artists. On the other hand, many non profit organizations are hardly known, mostly because they lack the economic means to gain visibility. That's why for The Giving Tuesday, we leveraged the Puerto Rican global musical influence to help humanity, by simply using these Puerto Rican music videos on YouTube, that are seen by millions everyday, to ask for donations.

Entering its 8th year, Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving, fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving in the U.S. and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since 2012, people from all over the world have given millions to multiple causes on #GivingTuesday. #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources. On 2018, the Puerto Rican chapter of The Giving Tuesday organization asked us to help them make a campaign with $0 budget.

What would happen if we gave social causes the same visibility these YouTube superstars get? With that in mind, we asked world renowned Puerto Rican artists to show compassion in a simple way: by giving their smash hit titles in YouTube a whole new meaning. For the entire #GivingTuesday, when millions of people searched for their favorite music video, their song titles turned into public service announcements, letting fans know which cause they were supporting and inviting them to make a donation for Giving Tuesday.

On November 27th 2018, 10 Puerto Rican music superstars changed the titles of all of their YouTube videos to the names of the causes they were supporting and a call to action to donate to www.givingtuesday.org. We also asked them to post on their social media a message that they gave all their songs on YouTube a new meaning. During Giving Tuesday, millions of fans around the world were able to see the causes these Puerto Rican artists were helping and were able to learn what they did.

With a media investment of $0 dollars, the Giving Songs movement reached over 400 million YouTubers in just one day, making it the most visible digital campaign in the history of Giving Tuesday. This stunt was one of the actions that helped raise $380,000,000 globally.
