Overview

Amazon Prime Video Canada engaged Sundae Creative to execute a 360-degree activation during Montreal’s busy Osheaga weekend. The goal was to increase social media following and engagements among Amazon Prime Video’s target Gen Z and millennial audiences. The activation used Prime Video’s top-rated show, The Boys, as its theme, creating the Vought Café pop-up at Café Olimipico. The campaign leveraged the city’s busiest time of year to secure maximum visibility and buzz.

CHALLENGE

The primary challenge was maximizing social media following and engagement during the highly competitive Osheaga weekend, when audience attention is fractured by numerous activities and competing brands. The campaign needed a multi-pronged approach to cut through the noise and attract a high volume of traffic to a one-day-only pop-up café experience. Furthermore, the complexity of securing extensive coverage required coordinating multiple disparate tactics–including an aerial banner, an exclusive VIP festival suite, and a complete café re-brand–all within the city’s busiest time of year.

SOLUTION

Sundae Creative implemented a three-tiered, high-reach strategy centered on The Boys show’s theme of Vought International. The solution involved:

  • Mass Teaser: Launching with a Vought Café aerial banner flown over the Osheaga festival grounds and downtown Montreal, estimated to capture 25,000+ viewers. 
  • Experiential Pop-Up: Transforming Café Olimipico into the Vought Café, where consumers received a complimentary beverage in exchange for following Prime Video on social media. 
  • Influencer Amplification: Hosting 10 macro content creators in the exclusive branded VIP suite at Osheaga, who generated engaging, high-reach content that promoted the Vought Café pop-up. This integrated strategy drove high engagement and secured over 6.7K new followers.

Implementation

The campaign was executed using three simultaneous tactics: 

  1. Aerial Banner: An aerial banner placement over festival grounds with the Vought Café message was flown over the festival and downtown for 2 hours 25 minutes, generating 156,125 estimated impressions. 
  2. Influencer Marketing: 10 content creators were hosted in the Prime Video VIP suite. Influencers promoted the pop-up and generated buzz for the brand, resulting in 10.5M+ paid influencer impressions. 
  3. Vought Café Pop-Up: Café Olimpico was completely re-branded. The coffee bar was wrapped in Supes propaganda, menus were swapped for themed refreshments (e.g., Americano Homelander), and windows featured Supes cutouts. The pop-up attracted 400+ consumers in attendance. Custom beans, milk cartons, and merchandise were branded with Vought Café.
