LUNCH (12:15 – 1:00PM)


III. HULU'S SEINFELD 'POP-UP' APARTMENT: AN EXPERIENTIAL CASE STUDY (1:00 – 2:00PM)
When Jerry Seinfeld's apartment was re-created in the middle of New York City for Hulu, it blew up the internet with the help of consumers and the media generating a swell of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). The physical experience was something people waited in line for hours to see, knowing it would only be around for a few days. What's more, they transformed their in-person experience into social and digital content that was shared again and again. In this session, Hulu will share how the power of experiential as a channel made a lasting mark on the brand.

Speakers
:
Irene Balotro, Senior Manager, Content Marketing – Hulu
Brian Schultz, Partner – Magnetic Collaborative
