Project: Happiness Factory 2 Virtual Premiere

BRIEF

The ‘Happiness Factory’ is Coca-Cola’s most successful television commercial of all time. How do we take that further, to engage the audience beyond cinema and TV?

ENGAGEMENT

Rivers Run Red designed, built and managed a virtual premiere of the ‘Happiness Factory’ inside a virtual environment, with red carpets and special guests, including Avril Lavine.

RESULTS

The audience was made up of invited guests, including the press and broadcast to a live, real-world audience in Atlanta. The premiere machinima was further amplified via YouTube and other distribution channels.

The most tangible result - Rivers Run Red won a 2008 Webby for the Happiness Factory - Virtual Premiere in the category of Interactive Advertising - Branded Content in the 12th Annual Webby Awards.
