Build the YBR on Facebook‘Emerald City’ Tease
• A primary engagement will be a Facebook App supported by a media buy. One of the focal points of the film is art direction and one set that will be fascinating to see is the Emerald City. We will tease a sneak peek available near the film opening exclusively on Facebook.
• ‘Likes’ will equate to bricks and after 5,000,000 likes FB fans will have built a complete YBR. Each brick will be customized with a name and number and will enter you into a sweeps. Your brick will be shared via wall post and all your friends will be encouraged to participate.
• Additional ‘milestones’ will be achieved and random bricks will be chosen to receive prizes.
YouTube Channel hosted byScarecrow, Tin Man and Lion
• We will post a series of videos that introduce the new cast of WOZ in character in a ‘reality TV’ style portrayal. Each will speak directly to camera about what a challenge the journey to Oz was and what a bad-ass Dorothy turned out to be; how the Wizard is a total Diva/Poser, etc.
• The concept is to have a ‘Big Brother After Dark’ feel so that we are getting an insider’s peek into the new world of OZ.
It’s Hero Time
• This film is a great fit for the Backward Heroes team. Having worked on literally hundreds of films, we know we can make a great contribution to the success of this project.
• We understand the strategy, objectives and tone of this film and we can deliver this on time and on budget.
• This presentation reflects the beginning of our ideas, not the end. We expect to work on this with the studio to make it the best campaign it can be and would love to collaborate to insure we are achieving the best results.
Thank you!
