AIA offered fans exclusive band interactions and digital content using Coldplay's fame. The campaign produced entertaining concert footage, behind-the-scenes movies, and social media sustainability messages.
Multi-Channel Engagement: The campaign included social media, PR, OOH advertising, and website connections. This cross-platform activation increased reach and engagement, appealing to Coldplay fans and eco-conscious shoppers.
Impact
