United Breaks Guitars
In 2009, when faced with an ongoing and frustrating customer service issue with United Airlines, Dave Carroll turned to his talent and passion in creating three music videos about his experience and he posted them to YouTube. What has become the United Breaks Guitars trilogy has inspired and empowered millions of consumers. It has awakened companies everywhere to the importance of every customer; about the need to engage in social media and has reinforced a new perspective on branding in the age of social media. His message demonstrates the power of Story in our socially driven world but, more than that, he reminds us that we are all fundamentally connected with one another and why knowing that can transform your business and improve the world for us all.
Song 1
The first United Breaks Guitars Song became one of YouTube’s greatest hits and caused an instant media frenzy across all major global networks and sources (including the likes of CNN, the LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Rolling Stone Magazine & the BBC to name a few).

Song 2
Dave takes a closer look at his dealings with Ms. Irlweg and the flawed policies that she was forced to uphold. Song 2 is an appeal to United to do the right thing because their policies are putting a real strain on what could be a terrific friendship between Ms. Irlweg and Dave.
