About the Work

In a market as competitive as the entertainment market, streamers are often faced with the war of adaptations. Who will buy the rights to the best franchise? The best book? Who will be the first to adapt the human interest story everybody’s talking about? The problem with this war is that it’s extremely costly. So to communicate without having to rely on their catalogue, Prime Video decided to innovate by adapting, for the very first time, exactly what gets their community talking: a thread published on Twitter. And not just any old thread! A horror story! The anonymous story appeared on Twitter a few weeks before Halloween and Prime Video purchased the rights to the thread. Then for maximum coverage, the brand partnered with the biggest YouTuber in France, Squeezie, who, for the first time in his career, turned his hand to directing. Each tweet that made up the thread was carefully transformed into images of typical Prime Video quality and then made into a short film…that aired on YouTube on the night of Halloween. A multi-channel campaign that definitely got people talking.

It was a #1 trending topic on YouTube and Twitter in France, got 3.7 million views in just 24 hours, more than a hundred articles in the online and offline press and an average rating of 7.8/10 on IMDB. And all without a penny of media spending.
