AI Description The ad showcases Netflix's clever campaign strategy to promote the series Narcos: Season 2. It opens with reports about Pablo Escobar escaping from prison, making headlines in Brazil. The campaign masterfully blends reality and fiction, using 1992 newspaper covers, as well as radio stations, to disseminate the fictitious news of Escobar’s escape. Social media was flooded with shares, reaching millions and prompting genuine public curiosity and belief, despite being a marketing stunt. The visuals move from intense reenactments to actual media reactions, highlighting the effectiveness of their guerrilla marketing. The ad closes with the reveal of the Narcos series logo, affirming the innovative approach to draw interest in a well-known story.
