HBO Europe Spokesperson – 2018 Campaign Reel

2019 PromaxBDA Europe Finalist – Best General Image Programme Campaign

+++

Our goal was to create intros to our trailers/image spots next to fully shot branding spots featuring the Spokesperson to guide the audience into the universe of HBO – now all across Europe’s different platforms – in an attention-grabing, quirky way.

Six little intro-examples from last year’s campaign used across all HBO Europe platforms (HBO Nordic / HBOGO / HBO Espana):

Westworld Season 2 / All Seasons
The Handmaids Tale Season 2
Vikings Season 5B – Strong Female Characters
Batteries – September Line-Up
Extra Hour – October Line-Up
Just Kidding – Christmas Spot
