Building buzz for Bluey's first extended episode

CHALLENGE

Encouraging fans to save the date

‘The Sign’ was the first-of-its-kind episode to launch with a global release date. Its beating heart? A highly anticipated wedding, becoming the natural choice for the theme of our newsletter takeover. With objectives to improve engagement, increase dwell time, and boost episode views, our challenge was to craft an interactive design that would immerse audiences in the world of Bluey like never before

SOLUTION

An invite to the wedding of the year

To celebrate the occasion, we created an email in the style of a wedding invitation with a smooth click-to-reveal experience that would replicate the surprise and delight of opening a real-life envelope.

From choosing their meal to saving the date, audiences could engage with dynamic interactive elements and explore colorful visuals that echoed the show’s own animation.

We set out to drive awareness of a new episode and its storyline, and ActionRocket helped us deliver this perfectly.
