KSI - Thick of It

A Campaign That Hits Different

KSI isn’t your regular pop star, your regular fighter, or your regular anything—so when it came to launching ‘Thick of It’featuring Trippie Redd, we knew a standard rollout just wouldn’t cut it. This track deserved a moment, not just another promo cycle. We needed something unpredictable, something disruptive, something that felt unmistakably KSI. Enter: chaos, controversy, and a website that pissed off thousands.

The Problem

We tied the launch to KSI’s latest Lunchly antics (if you know, you know) by directing fans to myapology.co.uk, a site where they awaited what they thought was a heartfelt apology. But we didn’t stop there—we deliberately hosted the site on a server that couldn’t handle the traffic. Within minutes, boom—site down. The internet went into meltdown, fans flooded socials with thousands of complaints, and we sat back, watching the engagement skyrocket.

I never want to work with these guys again.

KSI (Probably)

The Approach

Twelve hours later, we put the site back up—but left the sitemap visible, a breadcrumb trail for the code-savvy to uncover a hidden apology, adding yet another layer of mystery. Then, after 72 hours of waiting, clicking through a hundred agonizing slides, the apology finally revealed itself—but only after fans pre-saved the track.

We broke every rule of good UX design, and the result? Viral hype, maximum engagement, and a campaign that was just as disruptive as KSI himself. Bet the Webby Awards love us.
