Helping Gen Z find their next favourite creators – through the ones they already love.

UK

Our mission? Help Gen Z find new creators, communities and content in a way that only real voices from the platform – creators themselves – could pull off.

The brief

YouTube Edition is a content series that spotlights the UK’s favourite creators’, helping Gen Z audiences to discover their new favourites and new niches. YouTube challenged us to supercharge the series. They wanted more reach, more relevance, and more meaningful engagement. And they didn’t want a corporate campaign – they wanted culture, connection, and content that genuinely resonated.

The results

+76.8m views
+572.6k engagement

Our solution

Our approach started with deep talent research and data analysis, which involved collaborating with a range of diverse and inclusive Creators with a strong presence on YouTube and Instagram and established amongst Gen Z audiences in the UK landscape. 

From there, we built a diverse creator cast grounded in credibility. We collaborated with 6 hero creators and 30 featured creators who all had one thing in common: an authentic presence across YouTube and Instagram, and a loyal following amongst UK Gen Z.

This was a full-scale 360 campaign that was spread out across 4 weeks and launched on multiple platforms to help broaden the Edition Series to wider and more relevant audiences. Alongside creator and campaign management, The Fifth also licensed and cleared 30 pieces of video content including music, brands and gaming IP to be featured in the series episodes.

The campaign launched with paid media, OOH, a YouTube live-stream and networking launch event and Q&A, to further amplify and drive additional positive engagements. We produced six 3-min long episodes featuring emerging creators, along with +200 content to promote the series.
