Our solution: blu, a global leader in the e-cigs industry, needed our help to drive awareness and consideration among today’s adult smokers and vapers. But how do you connect with smokers on a global scale in a category that’s under fire? Based on blu’s mission to help smokers switch to a healthier alternative, we conceptualised Pledge World. A global influencer and experiential campaign inspiring smokers and vapers to make a pledge and change their lives for the better.

We invited our audience to submit their pledge – from overcoming a fear to chasing a lifelong dream or personal goal – for a chance to win and make it happen. We partnered with community leaders (including Instagram icon @thefatjewish) who shared their own pledges, captivating our audience as they followed the ups and downs of their personal journeys. This was supported by a live road-show as well as a collaboration with a top NY-based artist to create Blu Marble, an art installation that live-streamed Earth as seen from space.

Creating the connection: Pledge World delivered global reach, true brand connection and vital long-term value for blu. Best of all, we inspired thousands to embark on their own life-changing journeys.
