what we did
Strategic Consultation | Video Content Production | Social Media Community Management | Media Buying | Paid Reach | livestream
Tasked with engaging audiences who were fans of the original series and subsequent movie, we created a robust, always-on social media campaign to satiate fans’ desire for new content. The campaign featured a five-camera Facebook Live event with the cast, and over 100 pieces of content rolled out during the broadcast run. This strategic campaign leading up to the series premiere and through the first season reached millions of fans across platforms, created excitement, and drove tune-in.
