YouTube ESCAPE

After the demise of ReWind, YouTube needed a new end-of-year moment and format to celebrate 2021.

I pitched, won, developed and produced #ESCAPE2021.

A first-of-its-kind interactive 24hr livestream featuring gamified segments from top creators and channels including Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat, Lil Nas X, Mark Rober, The Weeknd, Maneskin, Fortnite, Minecraft, KSI & Lo-Fi Girl.

The stream was a breakout success with over 4million live viewers(/players), over 70 million (aggregate) VOD viewers, record breaking social mentions (95% positive) and the most active live chat YouTube ever recorded.
