MindComet Helps NCM Fathom Promote Unique In-Theatre Anime Events to Consumers Nationwide
The highly anticipated in-theatre events featuring live action Death Note and Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody
NCM Fathom , the entertainment division of National CineMedia, joined forces with MindComet, Central Florida’s leading interactive agency to promote two Anime events, which premiered in select theaters nationwide over the spring months of May and June. Death Note, a live action version of the hit supernatural mystery ran only two nights, May 20th and 21st. Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody ran shortly thereafter in theaters June 11th and 12th.
With the events featuring Death Note and Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody sharing the same audience, MindComet and Fathom leveraged existing channels and used cross-marketing to promote the events. MindComet enlisted the help of anime forum administrators who posted information about the upcoming Fathom events on their boards, infiltrating and educating the anime scene. MindComet turned to bloggers from popular consumer generated media network SocialSpark who blogged about the films and provided their opinions and insight on anime related activities.
“Anime has such a large following that we knew, once we got the word out about these unique events, that the seats would start selling,” stated Laura Lear, Director of Marketing – National CineMedia. “Fathom has experienced great success bringing one-of-a-kind anime events to movie theaters and we’re delighted to give fans the chance to see some of their favorite anime characters on the big screen.”
Fathom excels in bringing top-notch entertainment to movie theaters across the country. MindComet works closely with Fathom to promote many of its events including the theatre re-release, accompanied by exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews, of the original Rambo movie, First Blood, as well as the live action Death Note, and Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody.
