The Campaign

THE CREATIVE IDEA Netflix presents its new serie, taking place in the city of Marseille, an European capital of the cinema industry. To launch the serie, we decided to play on Marseille’s strong competitive spirit : Introducing the Marseille’s Signs, designed from the series’ original logo.

Creative Execution

THE EXECUTION The construction of more than 100 meters wide, made of giant letters of 13.70 meters high, obvious analogy to the famous sign " Hollywood " and symbol of the cultural vitality of the city, which become established as a special place for film and series shooting. The "Marseille Signs" reproduced identically the Marseille logo imagined by Netflix. THE PROCESS In total, 2 month of works was necessary for this 300 tonnes construction reproduicing the letters which constitute the serie’s logo. THE TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION Local craftmens, proud to honor their city built a 13,70m high and more than 100m long landmark on top of a hill visible from everywhere around (from people who come to Marseille by plane, car or boat). THE BRAND RELEVANCE / APPROACH The idea was to play on the symbol of Marseille : the City AND its "role"/vision in the serie : an iconic & cinema
