Coldplay Global Concert / An interactive live event that crashed YouTube and Twitter
IDEA
We worked directly with Coldplay to pull off a live, fully immersive, music experience broadcast worldwide. Through a microsite, fans were able to create customized animated graffiti butterflies, which were collected and distributed via Facebook. During the performance, the butterflies were unleashed in a crowd-sourced multiscreen video, as fans everywhere watched around the world.
IMPACT
• At 20 million views to date, the show stands as the largest single artist livestream in YouTube history
• So massive, it crashed both YouTube and Twitter
• First live concert ever simultaneously streamed on YouTube, banners, GoogleTV and on a multiscreen experience in Times Square
