The Day of The Defiant Ones
​
HBO launched The Defiant Ones with a dual-phased event-level marketing campaign designed to reach influencers first, followed by high-impact general market tactics. The network developed an ambitious and intricately plotted influencer campaign that intersected the definition of defiance with existing human behaviors: people don’t tell brand stories, people tell people stories.
​
At early screenings of The Defiant Ones, influencers were invited to share their defy-ing moment. Captured in video and photo, HBO used this footage to create easily shareable assets that would advance the You Will Never… narrative, slowly building in scale and reaching maximum velocity on premiere day.
​
The campaign culminated when HBO declared July 9, The Day of The Defiant Ones. A massive event in Jimmy’s hometown of Brooklyn tapped into the defiance of influencers and consumers through a series of engaging activations. The entire experience was designed to drive social buzz and integrate guests into the ethos of the marketing campaign: crossing the “never” out of “you will never.” The event included performances from the next generation of defiant voices, some of whom were featured in the influencer campaign, including Lizzo, Cakes da Killa, Vince Staples, and 2 Chainz.
