To appeal to a diverse range of verticals and align the event and series premiere across various passion-points, we crafted targeted messaging for different media outlets in multicultural, art, lifestyle, culture and consumer verticals, highlighting and leveraging relevant elements of the campaign to that vertical.

To create maximum impact, we leveraged various assets (ie video diaries, announcements, interviews) for different verticals to allow for multiple "exclusives."

We drove event listings and appealed to regional outlets to make the event the place-to-be.

Key media was granted early event access for uninterrupted walk-throughs and photos. To elevate the opportunities for media engagement, we utilized the Game of Thrones’ stars in attendance, as well as the Art The Throne artists, to offer exclusive in-person interview opportunities.

Post-event, we shared high-quality event photos with press and thanked attendees individually to encourage additional coverage and continue to remind people about the Game of Thrones’ premiere.
