SUMMARY
Despite awareness of the link between indoor tanning and melanoma, millions of young American women ages 18-24 indoor tan every year. To break through to them, we created a fake indoor tanning salon offering a Free Killer Tan. Once inside, unsuspecting customers got a seat at their own funeralwhich included a personalized R.I.P sign and a tanning-bed casket. Everything was captured and shared via online video. The results: 1 million plays on Youtube and Facebook respectively (each exceeding goal by 10x), with more than 90% of views reaching our target audience.
