Three years after Squid Game became a global phenomenon, we weren't interested in a comeback. We wanted a takeover.
The Local Challenge
Leverage the Pink Guards and the world of Squid Game to infiltrate Aussie summer so that the nation understands that there is no stopping the game.
Execution
➊ A flotilla of over 300 Pink Guards take over Sydney Harbour, escorting their beloved Young-Hee to her new home by sea.
➋ A deathly game of Red Light Green Light ensues in Bondi Icebergs pool, with Aussie legend Steve Bradbury crowned the victorious ‘last man standing’ once again.
➌ A swarm of 200 Pink Guards descend on St Kilda for a Beach Day - much to Melbournians dismay.
➍ Shoppers at Australia’s busiest shopping centres were alarmed by Squid Game Christmas carollers’ live performances of the shows eerie tracks.
➎ Killer Aussie Squid Game content rolled out across Owned, Influencer, Video, Audio, Editorial and OOH (including Market First placements) to overwhelming fan excitement.
