Uncharted: The Power of Dreams -- An UPROXX Original Series, In Partnership with Honda

Entered in Multi-Platform Campaign, YouTube, Video

Objectives

Honda came to Woven Studios aiming to establish an emotional connection with millennial audiences while extending the reach of their successful Honda Stage music program. It aligned perfectly with UNCHARTED, an original series that finds incredible talent, and breaks them to the world.

Strategy and Execution

Woven Studios leveraged its unique approach to content: telling inspirational, aspirational stories of musicians who have yet to cross over into mainstream culture and thereby ladder up to the existing Honda Stage platform. Our in-house Research team uncovered unique and compelling narratives of talented musicians, which we constructed into multiple cuts to fit the varied points of distribution, including: Woven owned and operated channels, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Honda 3rd party media partners.This beautiful video content was supported by expert opinions on Music communicated via long-form Editorial deep dives, designed to inform viewers and speak to them in the unique voice of each publishing platform.
