Film Marketing Case Study
“Warm Bodies” (2013)
Marketing Campaign Overview
“Warm Bodies” Marketing campaign is fairly wide reaching,
utilizing many different media platforms to ensure maximum
coverage on the movie.
The marketing campaign was made up mainly of posters and
internet clips, trailers and videos. The premier was also
used as well as interviews and reviews.
Marketing Timeline: Pre Launch
The first thing released in relation to the film was this
poster (note that it does not contain information about the
release date or the plot on the poster, just the two leads
being close together to show the romance aspect of the film.
The poster however does state that the film
is based of of the book of the same name,
meaning that the audience can find the basic
gist of the plot if they wish.
Marketing Timeline: Pre Launch
Following this poster a new teaser poster was released. This
poster however provides slightly more
Information as it states the release date
(February 1’st)and also gives subtle hints
to the plot with its tagline: “Cold body,
warm heart” which allows the audience to
connote that the movie is still a romance
one but involves zombies.
This poster is also the first one to begin
establishing the brand identity of the film
with the heavy use of red with white and
black degraded writing.
Marketing Timeline: Pre Launch
At this point in the campaign no trailer has been released
still but the marketing team clearly made a deal with a
makeup artist on youtube “Michelle Phan, as a makeup tutorial
was released with footage from the film.This tutorial is
clearly aimed at couples due to the language used in it and
therefor starts to let the potential audience know who the
film will be aimed at.
The video also uses the same fonts
that the movie poster was, further
reinforcing the brand identity of the
film.
Marketing Timeline: Pre Launch
Now a trailer is released in the campaign, it's a full 2:30
trailer that gives a lot more information about the plot and
firmly reinforces the brand identity with the white and black
degraded writing on a red
Background that is used in the
title and text cards .
The trailer also shows of the
Comedy and action aspects of
The film alongside the romance.
It was aired before movies in
the cinema, on TV and before
Videos and the “Summit
Screening Room” channel on
Marketing Timeline: Pre Launch
Another poster is released now. It sticks
With the established brand identity and
uses the tagline of “He’s still dead but
he’s getting warmer.” The poster also
shows the zombie lead giving the female
lead flowers, promoting the romantic
side of the film. We can also see at this
point in the campaign that the poster
Taglines all seem to be making zombie
jokes in relation to romance, a theme that
Can be seen tp persist through other
posters in the future to promote the
comedy in the film.
Marketing Timeline: Pre Launch
A new trailer is now released. This one is more of a teaser
trailer, being only 1:01
long. It provides much
less information on the
plot, however it focuses
on juxtaposing the horror
and zombie parts of the
film with the romance and
Comedy. Again it sticks
to following the brand
identity and was released
on the same platforms as
the other trailer was.
Marketing Timeline: Pre Launch
At this point, 5 new posters are released for the film. All
of them follow the brand identity laid out by previous media
and all contain taglines with zombie related puns or jokes in
them. It seems that the posters are trying to focus on the
romance and friendship aspects of the film, while also
sexualising both its main characters.
Marketing Timeline: Pre Launch
The marketing team for “Warm Bodies” seem to make a deal with
“Fandango Movies”, allowing them to post the first 4 minutes
of the movie to social media
sights and Youtube, getting people eager
for what happens next and generally
hyped for the film.
2 new posters are also released.One of
Them is seen to be more basic, as it
is very similar to a previous
one but without the tagline.
The other is a larger one,
probably meant for billboards
Marketing Timeline: Pre Launch
Now the marketing team begin to release full clips of the
movie of moments that were previously seen in trailers. Two
of them were released at this point. This is effective as it
gives people who are already hyped for the movie a bite sized
portion of the movie to keep them interested. However the
clips are not aired like the trailers to help people who want
to avoid spoilers from seeing something they would rather not
see.
Marketing Timeline: Pre Launch
Two more clips are now released of moments that were again,
seen in trailers. They remain short and were released on
Youtube and shared to social media sites. (note that many
more clips were released as well however there are upwards of
10 of them all over the internet so all of them will not be
featured)
Marketing Timeline: Pre Launch
The last thing released prelaunch for the marketing campaign
was a group of propaganda style posters, all with relevant
zombie references. Only one of them actually contains any
release information but due to the strong sticking to of the
brand identity, these posters would be instantly recognisable
as warm bodies adverts.
Marketing Timeline: Launch
On launch of the film there was a red carpet premier event
where all the actors involved in the film and the writer of
the book it was based off go and see the film. This event had
huge media coverage and provided the actors with the
opportunity to act as advertisement to the film by being
interviewed by the press. Events like these can be seen for a
lot of movies as they are an excellent way of launching a
film that a lot of people will no doubt see or hear about.
An interview at the event:
Marketing Timeline: Post Launch
Post launch of the film there are two main things that warm
bodies did. One of these were having its cast interviewd by
various websites and other people. This is an exelent idea as
it's a win win for both the marketters of the film, as they
can get their actors to sell their film to people who haven't
gone to see it yet, and the interviews get a star to
interview and get more revenue.
Interview example:
Marketing Timeline: Post Launch
The other thing the campaign for “Warm Bodies” uses to get
people into theaters post launch is reviews. These can result
in a loss in ticket sales if a bad review is published
however if a reviewer mentions a movie when it's been
released it can get some to go out and see the movie.
The Guardian Review:
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/feb/07/warm-bodies-
review
Marketing Campaign Evaluation:
Looking at this campaign as a whole it can easily be said
that it is a highly effective one. The brand identity was
pushed from the very start with every piece of media released
for the film since the first poster following a strict colour
scheme that helped provide the film with its own identity.
This was also reinforced by most media (especially
posters)using zombie related jokes to push the movie. The
only weak aspect of the campaign I would say was the poster
pictured on this slide. It broke the brand identity slightly
by using the colour green for some of its writing and as a
result stood out in a bad way. However in the long run, a

Film Marketing Campaign Case Study

  • 1. Film Marketing Case Study “Warm Bodies” (2013)
  • 2. Marketing Campaign Overview “Warm Bodies” Marketing campaign is fairly wide reaching, utilizing many different media platforms to ensure maximum coverage on the movie.

This event had huge media coverage and provided the actors with the opportunity to act as advertisement to the film by being interviewed by the press.
