CREATIVE IDEA | HANDS IN THE AIR

A quick pan of the crowd at any EDM festival will show thousands of artfully styled females excitedly dancing with their hands wildly in the air all day and all night.

Execution

BE THERE | Activations enhanced the fan experience

• Secret Refresh Stations were positioned in high traffic areas within festivals. Fans relaxed, fixed their looks and applied fresh Secret so they could get back to partying with their hands confidently in the air.

• Secret Photo Frames were massive co-branded stand-in “frames” that were strategically positioned to capture iconic keepsake shots of the event.

BE SEEN | We captured hands in the air moments from the events for content that aligned Secret with females having an epic experience, amplified across:

• Snapchat: Live Story partner (Wonderland and HARD Summer)

• Streaming: Activations natively covered during EDC Live Stream

• Media: Custom, highly targeted advertising campaign

BE SHARED | A targeted amplification strategy:

• Social media influencer coverage, seeding Secret within their community

• Female artists shared their epic adventures leading up to their EDC performances

• Fans were encouraged to share their frame photos using Secret’s “#epic48” hashtag
