At the time of writing, it’s no great leap to say most people have seen some of the Raygun routine – well, almost everyone. The agency is home to some of the country’s most profitable social media stars, including The Inspired Unemployed, and was crucial in Gunn securing her first brand partnership with Finder, the global financial technology company, to front the #The campaign leans into Raygun’s controversial moves, encouraging entrants to submit a dance video to Instagram with the hashtag #RaygunChallenge. “I’ve heard some of you think you can do better than me,” Gunn says in a video posted to Instagram by Finder.
