Kraft Peanut Butter - Cheerbuds
2020
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics were set to be strangely quiet thanks to COVID-19. No fans. No cheering. For the first time ever, athletes would be deprived of the cheers that help them achieve greatness.
Kraft Peanut Butter stands for sticking together, so we partnered with Team Canada to give the entire country a way to send their cheers right to our athletes' ears.
Canadian Olympians received custom bluetooth earbuds that gave them access to their own personal Soundcloud playlist featuring cheers recorded by real fans. Before, during and aftr key events, fans were driven to a microsite where they recorded their cheers, chants and personal messages of support for the athletes. Playlists were updated in real time, ensuring the athletes' earbuds played relevant and timely cheers when they needed to hear them the most.
