"The mutant threat is the defining issue of our time. We can choose to stem the impending tide of extinction or we can stand by passively and allow it to wash away any remnants of our species."

- FOUNDER, BOLIVAR TRASK - 1973

How do you excite a skeptical fan base, launch the fifth installment to the X-Men franchise and stand out at a convention that’s over-saturated with the year’s top entertainment titles? It starts with a giant robot. To get audiences excited about "X-Men: Days of Future Past," we created a comprehensive launch campaign that included a giant Sentinel head at Comic-Con, a cache of online content built around the film's evil megacorporation, and a corporate lifestyle commercial that established the company’s sinister agenda.

With no paid media, the X-Men: Days of Future Past launch campaign took the web by storm, garnering over 3 million video views and over 400 million social media and editorial impressions in one week.
