The Game of Marketing: Game of Thrones by HBO

We are exactly in the middle of 2017 and the only thing that binds the entire universe together is the launch of season 7 of the epic series “Game of Thrones” based on the book series by George R. R. Martin.

When it is about marketing, HBO and Game of Thrones have to go big. Apart from having an extremely prominent presence on all the platforms, they make sure they level up their game every year. The television network is bang on point by focusing on content and subscription. A never-seen-before concept, bigger fan following, a better incentive to market, higher the number of subscribers.

If we strictly talk about their marketing schedule, what they did before, doesn’t make us forget what they did before. This is the reason we bring to you, a compilation of various strategies of visual content that they used to market the epic show.
