The Challenge

We were asked to create a social media campaign for the fourth season of Rick and Morty, launching in November 2019. The client wanted to target the established fanbase in Germany, using social activity that captured the spirit of Rick and Morty, and created strong engagement.

Our Response

Our strategy was to take advantage of the show’s super engaged Facebook audience and ‘meme culture’ as a whole.

Brand research suggested that the core audience was deeply ingrained in memes and internet pranks, so there was an opportunity for fans to participate in spreading some kind of message or in-joke. We developed two creatives that were interactive, shareable and engaging for the audience.

What’s behind the door? Fan troll

This execution involved a series of videos using famous clips from the show. Each time Morty opened the door, something shocking, nonsensical or anticlimactic was revealed.
