Synopsis:
Deadpool was a new kind of superhero movie: snarky, irreverent, and self-aware. It required a new approach to differentiate it from the hordes of other comic book action movies out there. To endear the film’s unconventional, foul-mouthed antihero to a wide swathe of audiences we created a far-reaching distribution strategy that put Deadpool’s sardonic tone front and center to make the film part of the cultural conversation and, consequently, a must-see theatrical event. The national campaign ran across Viacom owned & operated platforms, including a first of its kind limited commercial interruption takeover on five different networks and social promotion on Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Tumblr. It was later extended across 15 international markets, including Asia and Latin America, during the measured time period and received exposure via national press pick-ups.
