THE WORLD KNEW SHAQ. Purpose Introduced Them To Diesel.
Campaign Overview
Purpose by AK led PR and strategic planning for all three lead singles, culminating in DJ DIESEL's debut album launch via Monstercat. The campaign was built to position DIESEL — Shaquille O'Neal's electronic music alias — as a credible force in the global dance music scene, not a celebrity novelty.
