THE IDEA : Pushing the boundaries of traditional OOH and redefining the concept of artist takeover in collaboration with street artist It’s a Living.

This marked the first artist collaboration for the Pixel brand, featuring a mural art activation as part of the out-of-home artist takeover in New York.

The goal was to surprise and tease the new color by dripping mint paint on existing Google Pixel billboards and digital assets on 1/19/24. This was followed by the announcement of the Pixel Mint device on 1/25/24 through a live mural painting activation in SoHo, accompanied by a behind-the-scenes video introducing the artist and highlighting the positive message behind the collaboration.

With its seasoned team of CG artists, editors, and colorists, Bespoke meticulously handled every facet of the project, from inception to post-production, and the final behind-the-scenes film. Playing such a pivotal role in planning the new product reveal, the studio worked for months on the execution.

The artist's calligraphy was animated in CG for DOOH and social media channels.

Leveraging its expertise in content creation and print, Bespoke took the lead in media buying to identify ideal event locations for installing painted billboards and hosting live mural painting events.

Further supporting the artist, Bespoke created an authentic BTS video that highlighted the artist's voice, developed immersive CG animations to conceptualize the artist's painting style, and created exclusive phone case merchandise for a giveaway.
