Music Festivals

The show Pop-Up Video recently returned to VH1 and to publicize it, the music channel hosted an activation on the grounds of Lollapalooza. Using augmented reality developed for VH1 by Awestruck Marketing, the promotion let guests see themselves on a big screen in the park virtually interacting with Lollapalooza artists such as the Black Keys and Fun. Guests could instantly post photos from the activation to social media sites.

On July 30 Pepsi and Billboard hit the Cannery Ballroom in Nashville for the second installment of their summer concert series, which included performances by Jana Kramer, Randy Houser, and country music trio Gloriana (pictured). The brands streamed the bash live on pepsi.com, allowing the online viewers to influence elements of the staging in real time.
