Description

Branded entertainment is not very developed in Sweden. There has been a few exemptions with programming on commercial TV-channels but mostly in the area of infotainment and light entertainment.

Execution

Short parts of the documentary were shown as a TVC. PR played a big part of it as Sweden's biggest newspaper (Aftonbladet) had not only 1 but 2 full page articles about the subject. It was also picked up by popular bloggers in Sweden and other countries where ice hockey is popular. Big online hockey forums also posted links to the content and heated discussions followed.
