Shafeek Hashim, 36, a travel vlogger from Alappuzha in Kerala with about 28,000 YouTube subscribers, offered his bald head as ad space in a Facebook post that went viral. A hair transplant clinic from Kochi took it: a tattoo sticker with the clinic’s logo for three months, visible in at least three of his videos, for 50,000 rupees, about $575. Reported by Onmanorama on 8 February 2025 and by Gulf News in July 2025. There is no project website; we list the first press report. No follow-up after the contract is documented.
It ended the way it was meant to: sold out, or the run reached its end. A landed project is a success, not a failure, and it never appears under Cancelled.
Ended as planned: Sold out. The three-month contract ran its course. No second client is documented. End date is the contract length counted from the first report.

In one sentence editorial
The head was the hook; the 28,000 subscribers were the product.
A real object or a person carries your logo: a laptop lid, a car, a toilet, a forehead, a shirt.

How the mechanism works, and why it works here 7 of 7 blocks · the schema
Every project is taken apart with the same seven questions, each borrowed from a standard analysis tool, so you can compare this one with any other on the board. The funnel numbers come from the daily snapshots, not from the creator.
