The crux of our approach was to involve pre-existing communities in the creation and distribution of the key campaign assets –rather than the brand launching it on its own’, explains Micah Walker, executive creative director of Mojo Sydney. “Burn’s most influential audience are in large part creators themselves — performers, writers, documenters, editors and publishers within the communities we want to communicate with – so it was critical our films were the kinds of things they could appreciate. They had to be fresh.
