Mixed Campaign
To launch Lady Gaga's "The Dead Dance," we transformed a fan-made viral moment into a major cultural event. On the streets of New York City, a guerrilla campaign featured collectible dolls that became the key for fans to unlock the music video premiere on YouTube. The activation cemented YouTube as the home for the phenomenon, sparking a global trend on YouTube Shorts.
