Execution: The client chose to work with experienced creator Tom Martin Davies to recreate the signature chain and lighter from the album cover as an AR filter on Instagram. Find the filter on Mike Skinner’s profile.
Result: Mike Skinner shared an Instagram story of him using the filter to his 232k followers driving huge fan engagement. Many of Mike’s celebrity followers also joined in sharing Instagram stories of them using the filter, including Holly Willoughby (6.9m followers).

Tom Martin Davies, Creator at OBject Space: “I found a brief to work with a global music label to create an AR filter for a well-known artist, which ticked all my boxes. I communicated and quoted for the work through the marketplace and when the project was complete Blend Market quickly released the client funds. It also gives you peace of mind that you are protected as a creator. Blend Market is a great place for clients and creators to meet and create amazing work together.”
