Agenda

For Broadway ticket buyers, The Exorcist is a one-of-a-kind show that is an entirely new way to experience this stirring tale. It is a psychological thriller  that will give you chills even

without the special effects.

Positioning

1. Create buzz by engaging existing and new fans who are looking for a new way to re-experience The Exorcist

Utilize social channels to encourage Word-of-Mouth by creating conversations and engagements with fans

Initiate interactive promotions both online and offline to raise a broader scale of awareness

Objectives & Strategies

2. Encourage ticket sales Positions as a standalone theatrical

experience by focusing on the ideologies and themes of the 1971 novel

Emphasize the concepts of reality, fear, faith through design aspects that convey subtle eerie-like mood rather than in-your-face horror

Maneuver media buys to coordinate with both off-season months and holiday months such as Halloween
