To celebrate the revival of the "Field of Dreams" game, we reimagined the retro ditty, "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet," into a culinary curiosity. With the help of Guy Fieri, we dropped the weirdest recipe on TikTok and watched the world dig in. The results? 1 billion media impressions and 143 million social impressions. We even earned a 4-minute mention in Steven Colbert’s monologue and a heated debate on TMZ. My role was to provide social-first creative direction and earned, owned and paid integration on all of the digital content, including Chevy’s first large-scale creator campaign, #foodtok and remixed TikTok-friendly jingle (is that apple pie hitting the woah)?
