Make It Metal

Agency: Ogilvy

Description

Traditional ways of promoting music albums just aren’t as effective anymore as it was in the past. In its place is a new era in which musicians blend art, advertising and technology in smart and exciting ways. So when CROSSFAITH, an electro-core metal band based in OSAKA, Japan, approached us about creating a buzz around their new album, we made a digital and social initiatives to promote the first single from that album, to engage with new and existing fans. The microsite became the sole destination to sample the brand new track that can’t be experienced anywhere else at that time.
By activating the webcam on the computer, sophisticated code detects the rocking back and forth motion of the user’s head to trigger the music track and keeps it playing as long as the movement continues in this manner; the moment the head-banging stops the music stops. Just as the audience can often be seen “banging” their heads in this manner at a live metal concert -getting lost in the music and moving to it- we’ve created an experiential way that utilizes the enthusiastic metal fans as an interactive medium.

This professional campaign titled 'Make It Metal' was published in Japan in July, 2017. It was created for the brand: Sony Music, by ad agency: Ogilvy. This Experiential medium campaign is related to the Music industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted about 5 years ago.
