The Man from the Future travels back in time to explain that OLED is going to revolutionize the future. And LG is starting the revolution with a whole new category of television.

Using symbols, teasers and contests, he would start and join conversations on Twitter during the most epic media event of all – the Super Bowl – in real-time. Engaging with the mysterious “MFTF” would allow you to see the incredible benefits of OLED technology and also be entered into the grand prize giveaway. In order to win, you had to answer the question that was hidden inside the TV spot, before the Super Bowl was over.

Ridley Scott and Liam Neeson helped drive PR. Teasers were distributed to help build anticipation. Then a Wall Street Journal piece revealed the full spot a week before The Big Game, giving MFTF time to play on his own as the fully-realized Man from the Future, with paid support.

Starting with clues and symbols, MFTF explained that a futuristic piece of technology would soon be revealed. A slew of animated videos, clues and content hinted at things to come. If you watched the TV spot on the day of the Super Bowl, and noticed the hidden clues, then you would have a chance to win a huge grand prize: the Picture-On-Glass television, LG G6. Through use of retweet-to-remind functionality on Twitter, LG delivered a massive number of direct-messages through Twitter, leading to extraordinary amounts of traffic and conversation on game day.
