The Brief

Fox Searchlight Pictures were after a campaign for the film Brooklyn that avoided all the ‘Hollywood clichés’ usually associated with promoting romantic dramas.


In fact, the central idea for the campaign had to be rooted in content that was relatable and realistic to the audience. So, the real challenge here was to maintain a consistent strategy across Fox’s social platforms in Spain, France and Italy, whilst sticking to a universal timeline leading up to the film’s European release.

The first part of the campaign featured a photographic competition on various social platforms.

In order to win, participants had to submit images portraying the romantic qualities they’d choose over everything else in the pursuit of true love.

The second part of the campaign, extended the idea of personal choice onto Twitter – where we polled audiences about the choices they’d make for love.


Not only were each of the questions provocative and emotionally charged, but we also published the results in the form of Brooklyn-inspired infographics.

Given the modest budget, the campaign was restricted to one week’s worth of activity. Despite such a short run, we still managed to garner some very good-looking results!
