Don’t Let Go

Focus on Talent

One of our goals with this campaign was to generate excitement among our audiences that were familiar with the film’s cast. We recognized that both David Oyelowo and Storm Reid have established, intimate fan bases, and we wanted to leverage their performances in the film to build our own following.

The Original Screenplay

Don’t Let Go involved a unique plot, characters and relationships as well as unexpected twists and turns. To ensure our audience understood the film’s premise without spoiling too much, we created distinct, explanatory pieces that highlighted the film’s key themes of time travel, mobile communication, and the importance of family.

Positive Fan Chatter

To engage with fans and take them deeper into the storyline, we developed an interactive Choose Your Own Adventure Twitter thread. Users were immersed into the conflict of the film as they were able to put themselves in the main character’s shoes and decide how they would respond to a phone call from the past. Blumhouse Productions kicked off this activation, and thanks to their large Twitter following, our Twitter thread generated 32K impressions.

We made one-on-one interactions with fans a priority in this campaign, and carefully crafted clever community management responses. Thanks to this approach, audience conversation started to pick up and flow naturally as the campaign progressed.
