Client Background

A leading film distribution agency partnered with Trueview to promote upcoming movie releases across major shopping malls. With theatrical trailers largely limited to cinema halls, the agency wanted to build early buzz and recall among casual mall visitors days before release.

The objective was to:

  • Showcase movie trailers and release-day creatives in high-visibility mall zones.
  • Reach a wider audience beyond cinema-going customers.
  • Reinforce movie awareness during repeated mall visits.
  • Manage content updates easily across multiple mall locations.

Problems Faced

Limited Pre-Release Visibility

Low Recall from Traditional Media

Posters and standees failed to leave a lasting impression before release day.

Other Observations

  1. Competitive Disadvantage – Schools without modern technology were increasingly seen as less attractive and less desirable by parents and students.

  2. Retention Concerns – The absence of advanced tools made it harder for schools, universities, and coaching centers to retain students in a competitive environment.

  3. Educator Frustration Teachers expressed the need for better technology to simplify teaching complex topics and engage a diverse student body.
