Overview

Execution

Wall’s distributed 165 copies of ‘Max Begins’ to movie theatres. We promoted this new, animated adventure on TV, outdoor, in newspapers, magazines and in digital media. The premiere attracted leading celebrities and over 1,000 children attended. Our augmented reality game around the theme of the film that kids played while in their cinema seats was a first in Turkey. By swinging their arms in the air, they collected crystals, just like Max does in the movie. By playing their hero in a game on the big screen, the movie experience became a totally interactive, engaging communication for kids.
