Result: Community submitted 300 pitches; Y&R/Lincoln green lit 14 videos.

Lincoln/Y&R created a marketing campaign around the music videos entitled “Project Rising Stars”. All Lincoln MKS commercial time in the Grammys showcased the five winning videos. The commercials directed viewers to CBS.com to see the full-length videos. Click here for examples. The network’s website then linked to Filmaka.com where further community engagement was available with information about the filmmakers, musical artists, and behind-the-scenes footage. “We were very impressed with Filmaka and the outstanding results.” - Carl Spresser, SVP/Director of Integrated Marketing & Branded Entertainment, JWT Team Detroit
