M&M’s x MTV Movie & TV Awards

360° (digital + social + linear) content strategy | digital production | influencer engagement | project management

In 2017, M&M’s challenged MTV to create and execute a co-branded marketing campaign for the upcoming release of M&M’s Caramel — M&M’s biggest product launch to date.

By utilizing Viacom’s combination of custom creative, linear reach data solutions, and social campaigns, we positioned the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards as the exclusive launch property to kick off a multi-platform campaign. The campaign’s 50+ pieces of content (digital, social, linear) ran over eight weeks across various Viacom properties, ultimately racking up 41.2M total impressions.

See below for campaign highlights.
