THE 5 x KATSEYE SENSES COLLECTION
5 Gum teams up with global superstars KATSEYE to create experiences and collectibles
that not only show fans how it feels to chew 5 but makes them feel it too. Created to stimulate all five senses, the one-of-a-kind collectibles were made with each member of KATSEYE. Each member selected their favorite 5 flavor to serve as the base for their respective collection and added their own unique touch to every item.
THE COLLECTIONS
Built for KATSEYE’s rabid fandom, known for living online and in the comment section, the campaign’s covetable drops brought how it feels to chew 5 directly into Gen Z culture.
TEASING THE FANDOM
Designed to feel authentic to KATSEYE’s content style and their hyper-aware fandom, we planted early and true-to-form moments of the girls repping their love for 5 gum. These early touch points sparked theories, comments, and quiet buzz that built up to our official tease.
LAUNCH AND DROPS
THE INTERNET REACTS
With collections being re-sold on eBay at a 15,900% increase (yes, I actually did the math), fans DIY-ing their own copycat packs, Reddit threads, countless TikToks and comments, and 1B+ impressions, it’s fair to say this campaign was a HOTTIE HOTTIE! 😉
TOUR READY
To amplify the experience, 5 ignited an exclusive VIP moment across five cities on the Beautiful Chaos Tour. Fans unlocked access through a social giveaway, with KATSEYE’s channels sustaining the partnership’s momentum. On the ground, 5 dialed up the senses with sampling in all five cities, distributing tour-exclusive 5 x Katseye group packs.
