The space for digital art creation and platforms which showcase this has flourished over the last 15 years, with 720,000 hours of video now uploaded to YouTube every day.
The Problem
Generating campaign – Swatch MTV Playground
Swatch & MTV teamed up to launch an initiative set to help emerging artists and students to display their work; a platform to display 2D and 3D animation, illustrations, graphic art, fashion, motion design, film and music.
The purpose of the media relations campaign was to introduce Swatch MTV Playground to selected lifestyle magazines in order to complement the social media campaign.
This was an exciting project allowing a variety of mediums to come together and share a creative space. As we have seen digital platforms evolve over the years we know how important it is to allow peers to become part of the conversation and for UGC to become part of campaigns.
Drawing on our marketing experience, we were able to incorporate influencer campaigns to drive awareness of the project, spreading reach and building brand reputation at the same time.
This campaign revolutionised what is now a must-have for any commercial campaign and paved the way for how consumers connect with content. This has driven exponential growth for companies like YouTube who have now reached 2.1 billion users. Along with the creation of further new platforms such as TikTok and live feeds from social media platforms like Twitter & Facebook.
