Overview

Background

Netflix was launching 'Glass Onion,' a sequel to the 'Knives Out' murder mystery.

Objective: Promote 'Glass Onion.'

Idea

To promote 'Glass Onion,' a murder mystery, we created another one, and had the country's best investigative journalists solve it...pitting them only against their worthy opponent: the country's most unstoppable rumormongers.

Strategy

We created another murder mystery to find out who'd be able to solve one first: the country's best investigative journalists, or the country's most unstoppable rumormongers.

It was a match Filipinos were all in for.

Execution

A murder has happened, and the first team to find out who committed it wins.

The battle of wits was documented and turned into a 22-minute film. Each round mimicked scenes from 'Glass Onion.'

Outcome

The content achieved:

*5,000,000 views

*56,000 engagements

Most importantly, because of the video, 'Glass Onion' became the No. 1 film on Netflix, staying on top for 2 weeks.
