We created a personalised Facebook app for The Walking Dead targeting the show's fans on Facebook, helping to drive ratings for Season Two.
THE CHALLENGE
The Walking Dead is a Golden Globe-nominated drama following a group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic zombie world, from the director of The Shawshank Redemption. After the hugely successful Season One, FOX challenged Red Bee Media to help broaden the audience and drive the ratings even higher for Season Two.
THE SOLUTION
We created a personalised Facebook app targeting the millions of Facebook fans of the show worldwide, along with their friends and family. The app centres on a film that immerses the viewer in the show’s premise – what it’s like to be “left behind” by The Walking Dead. The innovative use of Facebook Connect and users’ own webcams seamlessly create a personalised survivor experience.
THE RESULT
The app went live in early October and is running across the individual Facebook pages of over 20 FOX global markets.“We've worked on several projects with Red Bee, and each time they've delivered innovative, extremely well executed creative solutions across all media. And if that's not enough – they're a great bunch, who have demonstrated impeccable attention to detail, timeliness and passion in all their work”.
