Creative Director - Robert Waddilove
Guinness World Records OMG!
The brief: Guinness World Records wanted to make itself relevant to a YouTube audience of 16-24 year olds.
The solution: We collaborated with Base79 to create 22 hours of original content for Guinness World Records: OMG!
We worked with some of YouTube’s best content creators, including YouTubers: Marcus, Alfie, Zoella, KSI, Oli White and Bing. The collaboration resulted in a content series that appealed to YouTube’s most engaged demographic, as well as existing fans of Guinness World Records.
The five different series were shown exclusively on YouTube as part of the YouTube Original Channel Initiative, with new episodes for each series coming out on a weekly basis.
