The Challenge

Gen Z doesn’t just care about social issues—they want the power to do something about them. But “peace” is abstract. It’s hard to wear, hard to post, and hard to share. Our challenge: turn a complex value into a Snap-native experience that feels fun, tangible, and easy to amplify.

 
 
 
 

Why This Matters

Today’s youth are digitally active but impact-hungry. They want their values to appear in ways that feel authentic, easy to share, and truly actionable. They’re not looking for campaigns that are performative or preachy—they want quick, creative, mobile-first experiences that make social expression effortless. This campaign bridges personal expression with real-world impact, meeting Gen Z where they already create, connect, and amplify culture.

 
 
 
 

Why Jaden Smith?

Jaden Smith is the voice of Gen Z—creative, socially conscious, and culturally influential. Known for turning advocacy into action, his authenticity makes peace feel relevant and shareable. Leveraging his influence bridges Snap’s platform with youth activism, transforming awareness into real-world impact.

 
 
 

Pass the Peace

Jaden invites viewers to share their moments of peace for International Peace Day. Users create and post content that reflects what peace means to them, flooding Snapchat with positive, user‑generated stories that take over the algorithm.

 
 
 
 
 

Mural Unveiling Activation

The campaign peaks with the Peace Mural reveal on Melrose Avenue—designed with Jaden and young LA artists. This AR‑enhanced mural turns a real‑world moment into a shareable digital experience, blending community engagement with viral online impact.
