Red Bull Gives You Wings

Full-Screen Interactive TV Ad

Client: Red Bull
Campaign: “Gives You Wings”
Goals: Showcase extensive athlete/event roster and engage viewers with video content.
Overview: Building on the success of previous campaigns, Red Bull wanted to test the limits of viewer interaction. Housing 25+ Red Bull athletes and events, I designed a sleek layout for easy navigation with a rewards based system that incentivized viewers to watch as much Red Bull content as possible…resulting in millions of video views, a ground-breaking average time spent, and national press attention in Adweek Magazine.
