Mountain Dew has developed multiple properties to do so. The Dew Tour is a key international skateboarding competition, loved by its audience and a continuing source of brand stories. Furthermore, the brand has created Green Label as a content-first platform for music, fashion, art and skateboarding.
Green Label Gallery, created by Likefriends, was a series of crowd sourced art exhibitions that gave young artists a chance to showcase their work in real art galleries. The mechanism was simple, just post your piece to Instagram with #GreenLabelGallery and the curating artist(s) would get in touch.
Launched in Amsterdam with subsequent editions in Brooklyn and Colorado, the exhibition mixed these digitally submitted artworks with live art creation during the event.
An example of a brand property, fitting in with the brand’s existing properties, Green Label Gallery generated natural content and expanded the brand’s credibility in youth art culture. Mountain Dew proved again that it is able and willing to add value to the cultures it is a part of.
