Decode Jay Z with Bing

The idea

Place every page of Jay-Z’s memoir in the real-world location it describes and use Bing Maps to help fans find it.

Timeless principle

Turn media placement into narrative.

Why it works

The book expands across cities, objects and billboards, making discovery mirror the life being told. Search and mapping are necessary tools in the experience rather than sponsors beside it. Fans reconstruct the story by moving through its geography.
