The sad reality is, the marketing/PR people often look at (what they think) is the "Big Picture". So sure, they'll put an ad in Times Square, which is great. But they often underestimate the value of viral and underground marketing such as what you tried (and succeeded!) in doing. Kudos to you for your efforts! What amazes me is that after marketing campaigns such as those for films like "Cloverfield" and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" you'd think they'd "get" that appealing to the common person on a personal level can help. It was very rude and stupid of them not to listen to you.kitt2k wrote:They actually looked at me as a huge annoyance, yet I got the word out to a lot of people. Believe me I could write pages on how much I grew to dislike NBC publicity when my event was all done. Had it not been for the amazing support of the individual cast members, (Justin especially) I would not have done the event to help the new show at all.
That said, I give kudos to the cast and crew of the show for being so willing to participate in the promotion process at the fan level. Clearly they understand that with a show like this, ratings will be an uphill battle and us "old timers" can help spread the word!
