The play, in three moves

Strategy

1

TikTok-first

Top Armenian Gen Z creators — sound, dance, and lifestyle influencers — as the launch engine.

2

Own the sound

An original campaign song and dance, built with a leading sound creator and a Eurovision-experienced choreographer.

3

Live where Gen Z lives

Visual language rooted in real locations, routines, and behaviors — never studio-polished trends.
