Game of Thrones, HBO, and the American Red Cross partnered to ask fans and blood donors to “Bleed for the Throne”. The campaign included an interactive and immersive blood drive experience at SXSW in Austin, Texas. Led by agency partner Giant Spoon, the “Bleed For The Throne” activation blurred the line between fantasy and reality to bring fans inside the world of Westeros with an immersive audio/visual experience constructed inside of a 16,000 square-foot warehouse. Combining Bluetooth beacons, large scale projections, and a custom iOS app, the activation allowed fans to relive the show’s biggest moments through the eyes of the show’s iconic characters.
The event was a Silver Winner for Television/Streaming: Partnerships & Collaborations at the 2019 Clio Awards.
