Execution
We approached Marvel and ABC to create S.H.I.E.L.D. Declassified – a behind-the-scenes look at Marvel’s agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which leveraged the combined power of Verizon and the Marvel Universe. Launched with a Times Square countdown clock and a fanfare meet-and-greet at Comic Con 2013, “S.H.I.E.L.D. Declassified” was a multi-media, multi-platform property that allowed fans everyday access to material with Verizon products featured prominently.
Through Twitter, custom content and a fully-branded site within ABC.com, we brought consumers deeper into the Marvel Universe while linking them to Verizon for information and purchases. Verizon owned the social feeds and sentiment polls while also providing the “best of” S.H.I.E.L.D. shareable videos.
In-show, Verizon moved beyond logo placements. Verizon’s technology was showcased through various episodes with passive and active integrations. In the 'Fitzsimmon Armory', a photo wall featured recommended Agent accessories made exclusively of Verizon products.
