Adult Swim and Kia partnered to bring Atlanta-based street artist, “Hense,” and his newest canvas- the Kia Soul, even closer to our viewers. Adult Swim used time-lapse photography to capture “Hense” as he covered the new Kia Soul with Adult Swim-inspired street art. Adult Swim interviewed the artist about his work and his newest inspiration and housed all of this on a custom online Kia Soul branded environment. To top it off, Adult Swim gave viewers the chance to enter a national sweepstakes and win this one-of-a-kind Adult Swim edition of the Kia Soul.
To promote this program and generate hype around the Kia Soul, Adult Swim created custom on-air spots driving viewers online to see the episodes and enter the sweepstakes.
