MULTIPLATFORM CAMPAIGN ANCHORED BY SOCIAL PSAs AND ON-AIR MARATHON OF BREAKOUT SERIES ‘EVERYTHING’S GONNA BE OKAY’
Freeform announced today the launch of a multiplatform social distancing campaign titled #StayTheFFHome, encouraging young adults to stay home. The campaign features talent across the cable network and includes out-of-home, on-air and social PSAs telling people everywhere to #StayTheFFHome. Through the use of social content, #StayTheFFHome aims to distract, educate and entertain fans while creating a sense of communal viewing.
As part of the campaign, the network is airing a special marathon of Freeform’s breakout comedy series, aptly titled “Everything’s Gonna Be Okay,” on Friday, April 3, starting at 5:30 p.m. EDT/PDT, featuring a live social talkback with the series’ talent on Twitter and Instagram Live. Additionally, the network is offering weekend themed movie binges, including “Chick Flick Weekend,” “Super Hero Movie Weekend,” “FunDay Weekend,“ and “Hunger Games Weekend.”
