Hay Day’s 12th Birthday: A Creator Campaign with Farm-Fresh Flavor

Strategy & execution

Wehype cooked up a campaign that was part 1950s rock ‘n’ roll cook-off, part creator crossover event, and all heart. At the center of it all was Thoren Bradley, stepping into the boots of Greg (yes, that Greg from Hay Day), hosting a retro-themed farm party that brought together some of the internet’s most beloved food and lifestyle creators.

From Albert_CanCook whipping up Hay Day-inspired dishes to SpicyMoustache bringing his signature garden-to-table flair, each creator added their own flavor to the celebration. The audience played their part, too - voting for their favorite dishes directly in-game, turning content into connection.
