SUMMARY
We needed to launch Rick and Morty Season 6 to US audience, while continuing to fuel global and brand growth. Instead of traditional advertising, an experience-led dynamic global stunt drove buzz, engagement and tune-in. Our goal: engage Rick and Morty fandom through an IRL participatory, globe-spanning ‘living episode’ stunt to generate excitement for the upcoming season. We teased fandom with a mystery, revealed large-scale IRL activations, created a global scavenger hunt, gained massive earned media - all driving to the Season 6 premiere.
