Brief:
Music is one of Gen Z's major interests. As a brand for the youth, Hotlink wanted to to build presence in that category to further relate with Gen Z.
Solution:
Gen Z has big love for music, and increasingly big love for local music. They're also a generation that appreciates authentic journeys.
With over 400 hours of interviews collected over 2 years, we created the first-ever Malaysian Hip-Hop documentary chronicling the rise, fall, and rise again of Joe Flizzow, and partnered with Viu, Malaysia's top OTT streaming platform, to exclusively release the documentary.
