History
Founded in 2006 by Adam Fine, communications professional and industry commentator,[1][2] TRUSTcollective represents advertising agencies, branding agencies, retail agencies, design agencies, digital and experiential agencies, technology startups, content creation studios, and small to mid-sized brands.[3][4][5][6][7]
TRUSTcollective's services include public relations,[8] marketing strategy, social media marketing, web design and development, securing public speaking, and media training.[9]
Notable campaigns
TRUSTcollective is best known for their work publicizing the Netflix original series Sense8 via the "Brainwave Symphony" campaign, an experiment that measured several subjects' brain activity and arranged them into a single, cohesive song.[10] TRUSTcollective is also known for the viral interactive short film and Facebook app Take This Lollipop, which won a Daytime Emmy Award, two Webby Awards, and three SXSW awards.[11]
The agency received broad recognition for its work popularizing the virtual reality[12] version of South Park for the Oculus Rift.[13] Additionally, TRUSTcollective launched a viral campaign at the Cannes Lions festival, entitled HaveYouBeenShortListed. This guerrilla marketing project utilized interactive and experimental content for the iPad shortly after its release.[14][15][16][17]
In 2019, TRUSTcollective partnered with Helsinki-based marine and energy solutions company Wärtsilä in collaboration for the Oceanic Awakening[18] - an initiative calling on the world's major port cities to reduce their carbon footprints by the year 2020.[19] A pre-launch workshop in Hamburg, Germany invited US thought leaders and influencers to develop Smart Marine ecosystems for a more sustainable future.[20][21]
Also, in 2019, TRUSTcollective worked directly with Helsinki management consulting group Miltton for “The Greyest Day of the Year” celebration[22] promoting Finland's most popular adult beverage, the Hartwall Original Long Drink. Despite Finland's strict liquor advertising laws, the event resulted in one of the world's largest outdoor campaigns and is on track to becoming a national holiday.[23][24][25][26][27]
