MEDIACORP: BUSKERMERCIALS

 

Due to the pandemic, busking was banned from the streets of Singapore – resulting in 350+ talented performers losing a major source of their income. So we worked with Mediacorp, a national radio network and champion of local creativity, to give them a new avenue to earn a living.

Introducing Buskermercials: a platform that connected local buskers with world-famous brands, equipping them to write, perform, and engineer promotional songs. So the artists earned 100% of the production cost. While the brands enjoyed affordable placements for these memorable commercials across 12 radio stations and more.
