Disney Parks – Dream Day

The Year of A Million Dreams comes to life far outside the parks when this branded entertainment franchise warms the hearts of millions of Americans on cold January mornings.

A story unfolds on the radio over the morning rush hour. Of a family that has gone above-and-beyond for others. Or suffered a terrible loss. They’re about to receive the gift of a lifetime. How will they react? Coast-to-coast, listeners hang for the final surprise. The video was used on participating radio stations’ digital channels to promote the event and drive listening.

“An engaging and very warm way to bring dreams to life. Clear Channel was very effective in working with us to try and find ways of breaking through the clutter and tell a story via a medium that literally every man, woman and child in the U.S. uses every day – their radio. It was a great way for us to talk to consumers in a very organic, very compelling way.” – Scott Cassidy, 
SVP Global Alliances for Disney Park.
