PEPSI HALFTIME

ULTRA PASS

Pepsi x Verizon

 
 

Despite the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show being the greatest celebration of West Coast hip hop in history, being held in a stadium just a stone’s throw away from where the sub-genre was born, there was no way for local fans to score a ticket without forking out insane sums of money. This was their moment as much as it was Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg’s. Their support helped turn Hip Hop into a global force, so we wanted to make sure they were front and center for this historic moment in Hip Hop history. So, we created Ultra Pass… an immersive 360 experience that used 8K cameras along with America’s most reliable 5G network to let half a million fans virtually gatecrash the stadium… past the VIPs in the stands… and onto the stage itself.
