Strategy

DMM identified 12 popular influencers with an affinity for the show, who were fans of fantasy series and had a background in the entertainment space, to capture branded content at the American Gods S2 red carpet premiere in Los Angeles. Influencers posted Stories to their Instagram channels during the live event while banking a large portion of their content to be posted on the actual premiere date.

Result

In total, the campaign reached over 4.4M followers and generated 2.2M brand impressions. Their collective posts garnered an impressive 140K (13.04%) engagements, with substantial positive brand sentiment and enthusiasm around the Season 2 premiere of American Gods. Influencers authentically/creatively captured their experience onsite, engaged well with their followers, and helped answer/educate fans on all things American Gods.

God. A touchy subject up to this day. Even though we all believe in different versions of what and who ‘god’ is, believing in the mysteries beyond ourselves is an everyday test of the strength of our faith👤____________________________________________

Tune in on the @starz app (link in my story as well) and I suggest to check out @americangodsus with an open mind💆🏻‍♀️💆🏻‍♂️ Even though these #newgods might conflict with your belief, you could perhaps learn something. I know we did 🤯 #starz #americangods #ad

YOOO TONIGHT is the premiere of AMERICAN GODS on STARZ! Listen y’all, we literally got #SPONSORED by @starz to see the premiere early this week!! I rushed out of my office, picked up a homie and we got to walk the red carpet, watch the season 2 premiere, get caught in some paparrazi photos, and go to the after party. Like seriously, what is my life?? The storyline AND the cinematics in this show are insane- if you haven’t seen it yet watch the trailer, go binge season 1 now on the #starz app, and get ready for the new one! #americangods https://starz.tv/AGBoze
