Overview

DMM was pleased to partner with Lionsgate to strategize, manage and execute the social media campaign for Norm of the North. This past January, audiences were introduced to a new animated polar bear named Norm. This family-oriented film told the story of a bear who didn't belong and overcame his obstacles by traveling to New York City to save his arctic homeland.
