The reel that broke the fourth wall

Created to amplify the Hamilton brand, this piece became a social-first cultural moment.

TPR Media created a fast-turnaround social media piece that mashed up Hamilton’s choreography with Rihanna’s Super Bowl performance. It went viral with Lin-Manuel Miranda himself reposting it, and praise from choreographer Parris Goebel. It also picked up a Grand Clio. This was creative risk that paid off.

Reactive content. Strategic results.

When the idea is hot, speed is everything — we shook the algorithm.
“The social response was electric. The video went global and caught the attention of industry icons — and we couldn’t have asked for more.”
