Jay-Z “Decoded”: Amazing Viral Marketing
“If in certain pages Jay-Z is talking about something related to Times Square, then those pages might be on billboards in Times Square,” said David Droga.
Pages appears on tablecloths, plates and mirrors at The Spotted Pig in New York (one of Jay-Z’s very own business ventures)
Jay-Z shook the borough of Queens with his pages dedicated to Run DMC. A 1982 vintage Cadillac Seville, decked out in pages 8 & 9, was showcased as a tribute to the hip-hop OGs.
A custom Nets jersey, complete with the content of page 86, was hung with the famous sports memorabilia lining the walls of the 40/40 Club, Pus Banners at the Nets Games.
A clear, freestanding page made of Plexiglas, overlooking the downtown NYC skyline was located on the Brooklyn piers in Red Hook.
Jay-Z stunned his fans by revealing a black leather Gucci for Decoded jacket. The masterfully stitched page handcrafted by Gucci’s lead creative, Frida Giannini, is custom-tailored to Jay-Z’s measurements and holds song lyrics mentioning the Italian clothing icon.
As part of a scavenger hunt they hid all 320 pages of Decoded in plain sight in 13 cities: on a rooftop in New Orleans, a pool bottom in Miami, cheeseburger wrappers in New York City, and more. Fans who found them all got a chance at two tickets to any Jay-Z concert anywhere, for life!

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
i agree4
