Execution

We engaged them in 3 phases Trigger: We planted a mystery story of an unknown catchy song in TV, radio, press and online to trigger a frenzy around the song. The story was carried by the national dailies, primetime news and talk shows fuelling curiosity and hype around the key question whether it’s Malaysian or international.Amplify: We got youth singing icons to make different versions of the song and posted it to video sharing sites.

We then urged youth to make their versions by giving them an online DJ mixer to play around with.Participate: We integrated the song in an online Avatar dance game with a nationwide virtual dance contest.

We got the youth to karaoke to the song in various cinema halls!

People gleefully participated by singing, dancing, creating different versions of the song and turning up in hordes for the biggest street youth karaoke event in Malaysia.
