SINGAPORE — Max made its debut across Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Hong Kong with regional activations across seven markets – Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand as well as Taiwan and Hong Kong. The series of creative and immersive outdoor marketing efforts showcased the streaming service’s rich collection of blockbuster movies, groundbreaking series, iconic hits, best-in-class real-life stories, and family favorites, inviting fans to feel, experience, and become part of the stories to connect with local audiences through dynamic and culturally relevant campaigns.
On November 19, Max celebrated its arrival with a spectacular regional light-up moment across all seven markets. Scenes from Warner Bros. Discovery’s beloved brands and franchises, including Harry Potter, House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, Dune: Part Two, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Barbie were projected on prominent buildings and landmarks.
Audiences were invited to join in local launch celebrations, where fans in the Philippines explored The Last of Us and House of the Dragon-themed Christmas trees and were treated to a magical Harry Potter Christmas tree light up countdown by James and Oliver Phelps, followed by an amazing fireworks display. In Thailand, audiences were captivated by a life-size “Krathong” installation during the Loi Krathong Festival, as well as on-ground pop-ups inspired by Barbie, Dune: Part Two, Friends and Harry Potter.
In Taiwan, pop-ups of iconic Warner Bros. Discovery brands, including Game of Thrones and Harry Potter, allowed guests to step into the world of their favorite shows.
Upping the ante, Max also took over prominent train stations, transportation, billboards and building projections across Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Hong Kong, transforming daily commutes into Warner Bros. Discovery-inspired journeys.
To connect viewers in Asia with Max, a series of creative social content brought iconic characters from Max’s loved shows into the heart of each market, incorporating characters into Asia’s vibrant culture, where characters “react” to hyperlocal landmarks, dishes and cultural experiences.
The extensive launch campaign generated significant excitement, fostered emotional connections, and positioned Max as the region’s newest streaming experience. The campaign has successfully launched Max on an upwards trajectory in Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Hong Kong, deeply connecting with local audiences in the region.
