Universal Studios Sound Stage, Burbank, CA
Staples Arena, Los Angeles, California

Lady Gaga delivered an amazing experience at the 2015 Grammys. This partnership was announced at CES 2016 with a 50 second video which led to an integrated campaign across social, digital, PR, and TV– including a 90 second spot driving to a 7-minute digital film.

Included were real-time visual effects run through the Notch game engine, first ever live performance face-tracking, interaction design, use of Intel Curie tracking tech and integrating it into a wearable Gaga costume, 4 weeks of tech integration and rehearsals with Intel engineers and Gaga stage production team at Universal Studios Burbank, and the live show on the Grammy stage at Staples Arena. Wearing a ring built on Intel Technology, Gaga controlled stage effects in real time and through Intel-powered facial projection mapping she paid homage to David Bowies legacy. The tribute reached over 83 million social impressions, over 10 billion media impressions globally, and earned the top social share of voice amongst brands.
