The Game of Thrones Trailer: With a Social Media Twist
Last year, my talented team at HootSuite put together an infographic inspired by Game of Thrones (because we’re all huge fans). We turned familiar social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, LinkedIn, Tumblr and Pinterest into Houses in the realm, highlighting some of the interesting dynamics that were emerging between the biggest players.
Now, the team has brought that infographic to life in this video, inspired by the beautiful opening sequence of the hit HBO show (whose 4th season premiered last night). Adweek has called it “a work of art” (unlike typical brand content, they say, which tends to be “attention-seeking desperation”).
But judge for yourself. Enjoy the video, and let me know which social media kingdom you are most loyal to.
