Messaging: Book Quote Graphics
In this initiative, we will utilize some of the more meaningful and
relevant quotes from the book and create graphics. We will either
use screengrabs from the movie itself (if available) or other
appropriate background images (ex. plain pink background),
insert the quote and title treatment.
Sample quotes include:
“If I stay, if I leave, it’s up to me...”
“I realize now that dying is easy. Living is hard.”
UGC: Air Instrument Activation
In this initiative, we will have users create content in which they
download a pre-selected song from the movie soundtrack and play
the air instrument of their choice. Users will share the content via
Instagram and/or Twitter and utilize a specific hashtag. Users will be
given a specific period of time to upload their video in order to be a
part of the “If I Stay Air Instrument Remix” in which the videos are
edited and put into one music video which will be shared through If I
Stay’s social channels.
In-World, Tumblr: Music Playing
In this initiative, we will select a playlist of songs to go along
with the overall developed theme of the movie’s Tumblr page
that will stream when a user is experiencing the page. Depending
on the direction of the page’s theme, these playlists could
include songs from the movie, beautiful cello pieces, Mia’s
favorite songs, etc.
UGC: Book/Movie Quotes + Facebook Cover Photo
In this initiative, we recommend creating an app that allows
users to mix and match from a choice of pre-selected images
and quotes to put together a custom
Facebook cover photo. Once their choice of background and
quote are selected, the title treatment will be added and users
can upload it as their cover photo.
Talent & Marketing: Music Quiz
In this initiative, users will take a quiz and answer questions about
various topics in their lives. The quiz will be visual -- they will be
instructed to choose which image best represents their answer to the
question. From there, they will be told which character from the movie
they are, and song selections that they would enjoy (these song
selections can link to the movie’s soundtrack on Spotify or to the
iTunes download page to purchase the song). Users will then have
the choice to share their quiz results on Facebook or Twitter.
In-World: Mia Hall, Twitter 1st-Person
In this initiative, we will create a Twitter account for Mia Hall. We
will use this account to push out tweets from Mia in first-person.
These can be: thoughts directly from the book, quotes she might
enjoy, images she might enjoy, RTs, etc. The link in the bio will
be the link to the movie’s Tumblr page. We could also create a
Q&A initiative to go along with this in which users can @reply
Mia with their questions about her life.

Warped 2009 – Get to Know the Band: Escape the Fate
June 23, 2009 By Kristen Cavanaugh
Since I first heard Escape the Fate’s debut EP in 2006, I’ve been a fan. Initially, I can attribute this to the fact that I’m a huge Motley Crue junkie. Now, I’m not saying that
Escape the Fate is the reincarnation of the Crue, but let’s face it, among all the pop-punk and straight-edge bands on the scene, Escape the Fate is, at the very least, the
Motley Crue of Warped Tour. Think about it. Both of the original lead singers have done jail time. Both bands have parted ways with their lead singer (at least temporarily).
Both bands have a shy, quiet, soft-spoken, but shredding guitarist. Sure, these are trivial comparisons, but an article published in Kerrang! really shows similar lifestyles. I
don’t know how much truth there is to this article, but for the sake of rock n’ roll, I’m going to go with it. I was born a decade too late for the domination of Motley Crue so I
take what I can get. And I’m taking Escape the Fate.
Escape the Fate formed in Las Vegas back in 2004 and released their debut EP There’s No Sympathy for the Dead in May of 2006. Four months later, their first full-length
album, Dying is Your Latest Fashion was released. Dying is Your Latest Fashion was the only full-length album released by Escape the Fate with their then lead singer,
Ronnie Radke. In 2008, Radke was replaced by former Blessthefall vocalist, Craig Mabbitt and the band released their second album, This War is Ours in October of the
same year.
I’m not going to get into the politics of why Ronnie Radke is no longer in the band or which singer is better. Bottom line is, if you like Ronnie, keep listening
to Dying is Your Latest Fashion and check out his new band, Falling in Reverse (formerly From Behind These Walls). If you like Craig, listen to This War Is
Ours or some old school Blessthefall. And hey, you could even check out some older tracks by Craig’s side project, The Word Alive (now fronted by
former Greeley Estates member, Telle Smith). It’s not that hard, guys. You don’t have to turn this into an epic Team Ronnie vs. Team Craig situation like Twilight. (Team
Edward, by the way...)
After completing a series of sold out headlining shows, these guys are going to be on Warped Tour all summer. YOU NEED TO CHECK THEM OUT. In my opinion, a lot
of bands on Warped Tour are very “edited.”•For example, maybe the band can kind of sing and play their instruments, but with the help of studio technology, they can
sound amazing ““ until you see them live and just pray they’ll hit at least one note in their set. Escape the Fate is as far from an “edited”•band as they get. These guys
know what they’re doing and I’m pretty sure Craig Mabbitt is one of the best live performers on the scene today. These boys will put on one of the most explosive live
shows you’ll see on Warped Tour this summer -- possibly ever. Don’t miss them.
