Insight
Based on social listening data, brand engagement reports and keyword searches, we understood that the audience was predisposed to be fascinated by the franchise’ outdoor show and tell. The creative idea was rooted in the insight that consumers who are stimulated by experiential marketing are highly likely to be emotionally invested in the brand and willing turn talk about it.
To promote Avengers: Endgame, Disney’s Marvel Avengers needed to do something unprecedented, bigger, and better in Kuala Lumpur to keep audiences enthralled and set the new pace for transmedia storytelling.
Creative Idea & Execution
To arouse the audience’s emotional extreme, the strategy was to shock and awe. The performance sought to draw inonlookers, creating a brand connection beyond fans to craft an exhilarating experience they can own and share.
Thanks to efficient orchestration of on-ground production, incorporate Intel drone tech, sound and light production design, venue management and logistics, a dazzling display of a record-breaking drone light show synchronised with music transpired unannounced in the night sky, bringing to life the iconic Avengers heroes, marking the premiere of Avengers: Endgame.
Powering the collective drone hive was technology developed by Intel. The move was to commemorate the culminationof a story told across 22 films in 11 years. Poignant and grand, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow andHawkeye sent signals against the backdrop of the iconic Kuala Lumpur Tower.
The 300 drones made it into the Malaysia Book of Records for “The Most Drones Used in a Light Show”. The innovative creative solution also redefined the sky as an outdoor medium.
