Tell Your Story—Sundance
SUNDANCE—Ex Award Winner
SUNDANCE 2019
As a sponsor of the Sundance Film Festival, AT&T wanted an organic presence to promote DIRECTV as a partner to filmmakers to distribute their work. To accomplish that, we combined AT&T branding with immersive graphics, neon signs and smart, simple aesthetic that made AT&T feel right at home as a major player at the festival.
SUNDANCE 2020
Every year, Park City, Utah is transformed into a moviemaker’s mecca - the Sundance Film Festival. As one of the entertainment industry’s premier events, it was a perfect branding and activation opportunity for AT&T. Capturing the attention of the press was our primary objective. We wanted to engage A-List talent in a way that would organically feed press coverage – engaging them both in real-time conversations and across social platforms. Leading with Warner Media, we leveraged press coverage to take our presence beyond Sundance, reaching both entertainment fans and industry professionals.
