The Game

The game created synergy by distributing the Avatar brand to U.K. audiences through another platform



Why the game was a successful part in the film's distribution and marketing:

  • It was marketed and sold before the U.K. release date in order to wet the appetite of the audience by displaying the unique special effects, narrative and characters
  • Appealed to the male audience, a vital segment of their target audience, by providing another platform to access the Avatar brand
  • Connected with the action/fantasy genre, a genre that lends itself perfectly to a successful video game and therefore the two industries (film and video game) attract similar audiences
  • Avatar needed to connect with the proliferation of hardware to sell the film successfully as audiences no longer access their media from one source, but look for cross media convergence
