Unit 56 Viral Campaign

Tron : Legacy - 42 Entertainment viral campaign 


The Tron Legacy campaign was a transmedia campaign including, websites, video games, scavenger hunts, exclusive collectables, custom made video and audio content.

The campaign started with exclusive collectables leaking out into the world, social media buzz being created and a back story of sorts as context for the whole campaign, a scavenger hunt located at a abandoned parking lot during San Diego Comic Con which lead people to the replica of Flynn's arcade from the original Tron movie starring Jeff Bridges. At the arcade the game machine for Tron had a hidden entrance behind it that was unlocked to show the fans exclusive content for the upcoming movie such as props from the film.

Following that were iconic characters from the original movie called ''bits'' that were sent out to key influencers which led to another scavenger hunt. The fake company of Encom have created a real press conference for the company, that in term was supposed to be stopped by the Flynn Lives movement which included the actor playing Flynn's son parachute down into the press conference to 
stop it
