The challenge

Its music platform needed a story that expressed Keep Walking while giving the brand a meaningful role in music culture.

The idea

A campaign film celebrated the career of a musician heard on famous recordings but less familiar to the wider public. The brand also financed a documentary directed by Oscar Rodrigues Alves, connecting the story to recognition on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
