South Park On Oculus Rift

Helping turn an Oculus experiment into a pop-culture phenomenon

Challenge

South Park fans at production company Tool faithfully created the town of South Park in virtual reality and needed to get it in front of the right people to show their Oculus capabilities.

Solution

TRUST curated a targeted list of consumer, advertising, technology, gaming, and design publications, creating a PR plan designed to help the project achieve the most attention possible among users, influencers, and prospective industry clients. By carefully constructing a tiered pitching strategy, TRUST was able to help the project achieve viral status and more than 500,000 unique users in the first week.
