We set out a similar goal for the new Spokesperson campaign: to create attention-grabing, diverse, slightly quirky, but to the point introductions to our trailers/image spots to encapsulate the distinctive quality feel of HBO as a brand and to guide the audience into the universe of HBO Nordic, while stretching the boundaries of the concept with visual punchlines and added variety.
These various spots are used as “prerolls” for either specific series or branding spots made for HBO Nordic featuring Ryan-James Hatanaka as the Spokesperson.
Five little intro-examples from last year’s campaign:
HBO Nordic Line-up 2017
Big Little Lies
Game of Thrones Season VII – Launch Spot
Game of Thrones Season VII – Catch-up Spot
Knightfall
