Arts & Culture Partnerships: Beauty & MrBeast Last month was a unique moment in Sydney Opera House history. We don’t normally do product activations on the Forecourt, but this wasn’t an ordinary ask. MrBeast is the most viewed person on the Planet, Gen Z’s ‘Oprah Winfrey’, who also appeared on the Opera House Forecourt giving things away, but that was 10-years ago! MrBeasts swift rise has been spurred by massive changes in the media landscape where individuals have replaced institutions as the gatekeepers of entertainment and information. Credit: Time Magazine. MrBeasts event provided a unique opportunity to embody the Opera House mission of being ‘Everyone’s House,’ by attracting a Gen Z audience, hosting a free public event, and generating partnership revenue to continue fulfilling our strategy. Other brands typically pay between US$2.5 million to $3 million for a MrBeast shout-out, and running an ad before one of his videos is similarly costly (Time Magazine). Thus, not only did the Opera House benefit financially, but we also gained by association. While exposure is not the Opera Houses primary need, demonstrating that it is a place for 'Everyone' and raising funds so we can continue to do so, is a priority.
