How do you make the New Zealand public aware that the 'Merc with the mouth' is back in a sequel? YOU LET HIM HIJACK TVNZ!
Challenge:
Opening weekend is vital to the success of any blockbuster film and Deadpool 2 was up against two of the biggest blockbuster titles of the same genre.
Brief:
Help Deadpool 2 be bigger than Deadpool 1, the highest grossing R-rated movie ever!
Insight:
We looked deep to find parallels with the Deadpool character and our local audience. Deadpools attitude and irreverence is a way to connect with the 'young rebel' in all of us - giving us license to break the mould.
Strategy:
Integrate the irreverence of Deadpool into the most serious of contexts to bring alive his nonconformist character. Leverage media platforms to disrupt the status quo and behave differently to cut-through.
