SM Cinema’s “Reel to Real” campaign
SM Cinema, the largest film exhibitor in the Philippines, takes a step forward in film marketing and public relations as it created a campaign dubbed as “Reel to Real”, where movies come alive and move its audience. The initiative was targeted to the new breed of audiences, the millennial movie goers and their families. According to a study, this generation’s value system has shifted from acquisition of material wealth to emphasizing life experiences. While SM Cinema continues to be the purveyor of the most immersive cinema technology, this insight also presented a unique opportunity for the brand to differentiate its offerings by creating unique movie experiences, tapping into the market’s thirst for adventure. The “Reel to Real” campaign is focused on bringing movie worlds to life, allowing fans to experience the settings and props, meet characters, and providing them with new ways to be immersed in their favorite movie franchises.
