SilverPublic Service - Influencer/Talent Marketing

Telus worked with rapper SonReal to address cyberbullying in an integrated campaign. SonReal wrote a track called “No More” that served as the foundation of a press tour and online campaign. The anti-bullying song was streamed more than a million times as audio and more than 1.5 million times on YouTube (the fastest of SonReal’s songs to hit a million views). Those streams, combined with the rapper’s advocacy through his social media channels, earned two million online pledges to be kind online from kids in the target group.
