viewers were encouraged to Shazam while Madonna

free remix of their new song.

engagement. The campaign also got press coverage
and Brand Channel declared Shazam the Super Bowl
XLVI Mobile MVP.

The Idea
F# created a microsite that put music front and
center – particularly protest music.
This unique experience had multiple features
that helped spread the campaign across the
web in new ways. New features were released
over time to keep fans coming back. To get
started, fans needed to sign in to get access to
some features, either through Facebook or
Email
The Results
Nearly 200,000 visited the sites and
ONE.org’s Facebook page received 100,000+
new likes

The Idea
In the ABOLSUT Music Mashup, users selected
their mood and the occasion to get a playlist
perfectly paired for them. From there, they could
enter a sweepstakes to win Spotify Premium,
scroll through different recipes or download the
Drinkspiration app.
The Results
Almost one in four who entered the experience
created a playlist and people stayed for nearly a
minute inside the app.
