-Boost Mobile and Highdive are “getting after it” with musician Toosii. The brand and agency enlisted the songwriter as one of the real stories of rising stars showing how drive and passion can turn dreams into reality. The campaign also features spots with artist and muralist JC Rivera and professional skateboarder Samarria Brevard. The campaign pays homage to Boost Mobile’s early 2000s “Where You At?” ad campaign, which featured up-and-coming famous artists of the time, but interprets it through the lens of today’s creator culture.
