BRIEF

With hundreds of brands and thousands of Bluetooth speakers on the market, Ultimate Ears wanted to generate underground noise via a viral social media endorsement campaign.

″Influencers from a wide appeal base, including fashion, fitness, and music, as well as Internet celebrities, were sent a tailor-made UE Boom Box.″

STRATEGY

UMM conceptualised, designed, and developed an influencer strategy and engagement program. Influencers from a wide appeal base, including fashion, fitness, and music, as well as Internet celebrities, were sent a tailor-made UE BOOM Box.

Influencers were asked to write out a playlist and upload it onto Instagram with the global campaign hashtag #makemusicsocial. This ensured influencers didn’t simply post an image, but actually engaged and used the product. This provided an insight into the influencers’ personalities, whereby this personal endorsement had the result of strengthening the brand alliance.

Creative-wise, packaging, logo, and collateral design and production were handled by UMM.

Each influencer provided a three-track playlist that was uploaded to Instagram.
