Two Target Groups, One Campaign
Mediaplus developed two parallel narrative worlds, each precisely tailored to its respective target group, with its own touchpoints, tone of voice and storytelling drawn from the everyday media landscape.
Romance fans encounter "Love Sucks" while swiping on Tinder, via DOOH messaging on their way to a date, and through cinema trailers, social media ads, and memes. Mystery fans experience suspense through elaborately produced CGI stunts, vampire-themed escalators, large-scale projections on castles, and Europe’s largest Halloween event- all underpinned by cohesive vampire branding.
Both strands converge at the emotional heart of the campaign: a national Smart TV roadblock on October 31, the day when fear and love meet on screen. In doing so, Mediaplus delivered a media strategy that brought both target groups together seamlessly and in a context-sensitive manner.
Result: The campaign generated 86 million contacts and boosted views on the ZDF streaming portal by 421 percent compared to similar mystery formats.
