“It All Started with a Mouse” campaign:
- Beats by Dre is more than just a company making headphones. Their latest campaign—a collaboration with Disney—focuses on young artists and creators and what inspires them.
- Walt Disney own words, “I hope we never lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse,” emphasized how much of Disney was established on the introduction of Mickey Mouse in 1928. These words provided the perfect muse for this campaign.
- The collaboration between Disney and Beats builds on this idea by looking at the origin stories of young artists including:
- American rapper Lil Yachty
- British singer-songwriter Anne-Marie
- Chinese actress Zhou Dongyu
- Japanese pop duo AMIAYA
- This campaign was shot by Maripol, a famed Polaroid photographer who recorded and influenced emerging artists that later embodied the creative scene of eighties New York. In addition to taking polaroids, she also filmed the collaboration and talent with a vintage camera to capture the nostalgic sentiment key to Disney’s magic.
