English Synopsis
Does an online idea need to begin online to become one? For our client, Daffy’s, we knew weren’t top of mind for the younger consumer. But we knew where they were, what they carried with them, and what would get them engaged. So we created an image that was so explicit it could never exist in traditional media. We cut it into 40 pieces and posted those pieces in subway stations along our demo’s daily commute, with a cryptic call to action of #undergroundpuzzle. By using Twitter as a hub to aggregate contributions our idea resonated with a select group, enticing them to publish our “unpublishable” image online.
