Creative Execution

We built a real synthesizer made out of bottles of grolsch + other design specific elements. We filmed it playing the "DO" key notes. We cleverly edited it so that the notes fall on the "jump to" shortcuts Now everyone who presses a key from 1 to 0 on the keyboard can play the synth in real time, as if it's a real instrument and not a simple video. Please see the case study to understand better.

More than 10.000 views in the first week. Great PR from fubiz, trendhunter, brandrepublic and more. Facebook buzz.

Grolsch beer is synonymous with "creativity" in Romania and, as such, is a trusted partner of the creative community of young, hip and very artistic people. As such, we're always activating them on a select number of pillars, one of which is music. We aim to prove that creativity can change even the most mundane things into better versions of themselves. Could we also transform the youtube film just by using creativity? Turns out we could, with no programming. We've basically reinvented the youtube film and transformed it into a digital synthesizer on which people could play actual music. No programming, just clever editing and usage of a less known functionality of youtube, the "go to" function.
