Challenge

How do you build on a cultural phenomenon and promote the final season of one of the world’s most watched shows? You celebrate the excitement, anticipation and passion of the very people who have made the show a success…

Insight + Strategy

Create a format-breaking integrated content campaign

We have seen the incredible impact Money Heist has had on people and culture around the world. We’ve seen tattoos, weddings, parties, protests and celebrities like Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr. all embracing the show’s iconography. With the campaign we wanted to find a way to celebrate the Money Heist phenomenon by championing the people who have contributed to the success of the show.

Solution

La Casa De Papel: The Biggest Fan

A format-busting IRL-meets-content fully integrated phased campaign that mobilised Money Heist’s devoted fan base, to find and reward the ultimate fans of the series in France and Poland.

A call to action to identify the most 100 passionate fans in each country was launched using en engaging piece of content on Netflix’s social pages on 13th September 2021, inviting people to test their knowledge of the series via an online time based Money Heist quiz and to submit their chosen city code name…like the members of La Banda in the show.

Each group was then whittled down to six people in each country, through a rigorous casting process that included candidates submitting profile videos demonstrating their creativity, passion and love for the series.

The lucky six went head-to-head in a world-building entertainment format inspired by the show’s IP. The immersive knock-out competition was captured as a cinematic multi-camera production for broadcast on Netflix’s France and Poland YouTube channels on 28th November 2021 and promoted
via a TV, press and social campaign.

Once our Biggest Fan had been identified, we rapidly turned their success into the final part of the campaign. Lyon, our French winner, had his profile turned into an OOH campaign in Paris promoting the release of Season 5 Part 2, and was whisked away to Madrid to take part in an exclusive arena show and live global broadcast - La Casa De Papel: El Legado - which reunited the entire cast of La Banda and the show’s creators for one last celebration.

Results

A global broadcast celebration viewed by over 3 million people
