Launching Netflix's Next Space Epic: A Global Fan Takeover
Developed the go-to-market strategy for Rebel Moon (Zack Snyder) fueling fan excitement and delivering a high-impact campaign launch.
Campaign Phases
A phased rollout that escalated from digital takeover to real-world spectacle.
Netflix Buy-In
The final campaign plan presentation achieved its goal of convincing the Netflix marketing team.
Fan Movement
Turned hype into a cultural movement with community-driven activations.
Showcasing all the meaningful ways Netflix can benefit from The Mill Experience to promote the launch of the new Zack Snyder movie, Rebel Moon, in epic ways.
The Future Belongs to the Rebels
I collaborated closely with the production and creative teams to offer insights, structure, and guidance in determining the most effective way to organize campaign elements and key tactics, which were then presented to the Netflix marketing team. We framed Rebel Moon not just as a film, but as a cultural event.
War Comes to Every World
A full takeover that introduced the film through bold, rebellious activations haracter posters, a drone-trailer in the sky, countdown hijacks across social, and an AMA with Zack Snyder.
Freedom Needs Fighters
Audiences were pulled deeper into the universe. Immersive storytelling brought rebel characters to life through AR "wanted" posters, live streams with AI-powered Jimmy the robot, and interactive filters asking "Which Rebel Are You?"
The Rebels Have Arrived
In the lead-up to launch, we went experiential. 3D billboards, MSG Sphere takeovers, social hacks, and staged street-level fandom clashes (Rebel vs. Star Wars) turned hype into a movement, climaxing in Jimmy's live interview tour.
From Film Launch to Cultural Event
The final campaign plan presentation was a success it achieved its goal of convincing the Netflix marketing team. The phased approach turned Rebel Moon from a standard release into a fan-driven movement, with each phase building anticipation and deepening audience investment in the universe.

Launching Netflix’s Next Space Epic: A Global Fan Takeover for Rebel Moon
Developed the go-to-market strategy for Rebel Moon (Zach Snyder)—fueling fan excitement and delivering a high-impact campaign launch.
Challenge
Showcasing all the meaningful ways Netflix can benefit from The Mill Experience to promote the launch of the new Zack Snyder movie, Rebel Moon, in epic ways.
Approach
I collaborated closely with the production and creative teams to offer insights, structure, and guidance in determining the most effective way to organize campaign elements and key tactics, which were then presented to the Netflix marketing team.
We framed Rebel Moon not just as a film, but as a cultural event. Built around the platform “The Future Belongs to the Rebels,” the campaign unfolded in three epic phases:
Phase I – "War Comes to Every World": A full takeover that introduced the film through bold, rebellious activations like AI-generated character posters, a drone-trailer in the sky, countdown hijacks across social, and an AMA with Zack Snyder.
Phase II – "Freedom Needs Fighters": Audiences were pulled deeper into the universe. Immersive storytelling brought rebel characters to life through AR “wanted” posters, live streams with AI-powered Jimmy the robot, and interactive filters asking, “Which Rebel Are You?”
Phase III – "The Rebels Have Arrived": In the lead-up to launch, we went experiential. 3D billboards, MSG Sphere takeovers, social hacks, and staged street-level fandom clashes (Rebel vs. Star Wars) turned hype into a movement, climaxing in Jimmy’s live interview tour.
