OVERVIEW

Background

Netflix has launched in Thailand for 5 years, but less than 1% of the population are subscribers*. To grow its market, we need content that really speaks to Thai people.

When Girl From Nowhere Season 2 is back after 3 years, how do we make its comeback a headline news… when Thailand is filled with headline news that is unjust?

Idea

Rewrite the Justice Newspaper

A special edition newspaper rewriting 8 injustice news to promote Girl From Nowhere Season 2

Strategy

“Rewrite the Justice Newspaper”, a special edition newspaper covering 8 of the most talked about scandalous news in Thailand at the time. With one twist…

This time, those responsible for the real events cannot escape justice.

From the controversial pregnant school girl news… this time the girl won’t be punished. The infamous hit and run case… that the rich and powerful can’t evade justice. The freshman was found dead in a hazing case… and senior students have been charged.

And giving voice to the students who dared to rise up against old rules…

8 headline news rewritten based on 8 episodes of Girl From Nowhere Season 2, attracting readers to watch the series right away.

Execution

150,000 copies are printed to this special edition newspaper that are distributed for free around Bangkok Sky Train and CBD. The limited edition newspaper have been giveaway for one day on the launch date of the series but has become the most sought after on social.
