Connecting with superman fans
Superhero movies demand super massive promotions to match the mood of the film. ‘Man of Steel’ was a blockbuster film of 2013 that made roughly over $500 million with critically- acclaimed positive reviews the world over. For those of us who have missed the superhero magic of the big screen, the HBO TV premiere is another opportunity to experience the Man of Steel sitting on our couches at home. And HBO has ensured no one misses watching the movie this time, with its 360 degree marketing promotions.
The social media promotions with simple trivia contests and exiting gratifications have further added to the awareness. However, it does not guarantee a wide audience unless accompanied by incentives offered in real time. HBO can include real-time engagement with contests at the time of the premiere; television viewers often called the ‘laid-back’ audience will not mind engaging with HBO through Twitter if it involves a chance to win interesting movie merchandise.
Perhaps, these are in the plan. Catch the premiere tomorrow at 9 pm and again on Saturday at 9 pm.
