Gorillaz
Plastic Flowerz
Plastic Beach was the third album from the band Gorillaz. EMI briefed us to promote its launch with just $3000 budget. Our solution was to get key music influencers to do it for us, but we had to get them to take notice. So we commissioned a Sydney-based artist to create special plastic flowers made from discarded household items. These were delivered to bloggers and journalists along with a handwritten letter and USB containing album info and links to a microsite. The coverage was epic. And the album went to #1 within first week of launch, reaching gold status.
