How “Sicko Leave” Turned a Concert Campaign into a Lead Engine
A Gen Z-focused digital activation for Travis Scott’s India Tour with BookMyShow
When Travis Scott announced his India tour, fan excitement was immediate. However, most concerts were scheduled mid-week, making it difficult for working professionals and students to attend.
BookMyShow partnered with Futuready Media to turn this challenge into an opportunity for engagement.
The result was Sicko Leave - a playful, interactive digital campaign that helped fans generate creative leave excuses while driving large-scale participation and organic reach.
