How did CeraVe – a skincare brand developed by dermatologists – win the Super Bowl? By re-writing the Big Game Playbook. We spread a month-long conspiracy theory: that CeraVe was developed by Michael Cera. 450 influencers made it viral, resulting in 15.4B earned impressions BEFORE the "Perfect" (TODAY) commercial revealed the truth. The #1 SB campaign (Forbes, Adweek, AdAge, GQ) led to +25% sales.
