are
Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief
the first film of the series, was released in 2010
social
we
are
Since then, social channels had gone dark…
social
we
are
Multiple, unmaintained Facebook pages were
scattered across several countries
social
we
are
Despite this, organic fan conversation was continuing,
even if the brand wasn’t taking part
social
we
are
Communities on creative platforms like DeviantART and
Tumblr were contributing new content daily
social
we
are
Here was our golden opportunity to reconnect the Percy
Jackson film series with their diehard fans
How did we do it?
social
we
are
We immersed ourselves in the Percy Jackson fandom,
basing our strategy on the characters and scenes they love
social
we
are
We learned to speak their language and connected with them
using the tone of voice and lingo they appreciate
social
we
are
This came to life in vivid creative content
rooted in the Percy Jackson lore
We expanded our presence across all social channels by
providing up-to-the minute news
We celebrated the vibrant Percy Jackson community on
Tumblr by reblogging their creations and
providing more fuel to spark their creativity
social
we
are
And gave our fans exclusive access backstage on Instagram
social
we
are
Engagement-focused activations sparked
continual interest in the film, such as…
social
we
are
In-character channel takeovers
social
we
are
Fan interviews on Twitter
social
we
are
Social scavenger hunts across all official channels
social
we
are
Weekly fan art contests
And “Flock to Unlock” events to release fan-favorite content
after a specific number of hashtag mentions
This one drove
24,000
purely organic mentions
of #PercyJackson
in a single day!
social
we
are
So did it work?
Grew social
fan base to over
2,000,000
Increasing
audience sevenfold
#PercyJackson was used
190,000
times in just 4 months
social
we
are
All this buzz created massive spikes in
Percy Jackson conversation, leading to
multiple worldwide trending topics
the week of release
social
we
are
Making for a renewed, united and ecstatic fan base
who can’t wait for more Percy Jackson films
social
we
are
