Coca-Cola sent out hundreds of T-shirts to social media fans, staff and creative partners and asked them to upload a photo of themselves wearing the shirt to create the world's first 'wearable movie'.
Each T-shirt was printed with a single frame from an animated short about a pair of friends and their attempts to make a giant pair of lips smile.
Each recipient received instructions to upload a photo of themselves wearing the shirt to a website. The campaign had 100 per cent participation and all the frames were stitched together to make the finished film.
Brand: Coca-Cola
Client: Guy Duncan, global group content director
