X-Men: Days of Future Past

DigitalOriginal ContentMotion/VFX

The blockbuster movie, X-Men: Days of Future Past presented an alternate, untold history of its world spanning from the 1970’s to 2020. Ignition developed a series of transmedia experiences to illustrate the dramatic and terrible conflict between mutants and humans that took place during this time, with content that blended fiction with reality in an entirely new way.

Trask Industries

To excite audiences for X-Men: Days of Future Past, we created a comprehensive launch campaign that included a giant Sentinel head at Comic-Con, a cache of online content built around the film’s evil mega-corporation, and a corporate lifestyle commercial that established the company’s sinister agenda. With no paid media, the film’s launch campaign took the web by storm, garnering over three million video views and over 400 million social media and editorial impressions in one week.

The Bent Bullet

Ignition took audiences back half a century to the assassination of John F. Kennedy with The Bent Bullet, a narrative experience that put a new spin on one of history’s most popular conspiracy theories.

The event kicked off with a micro-documentary that hinted at the mutant Magneto’s involvement in the president’s assassination, and led audiences to a website where they uncovered additional details through historical photos, long-form editorial content, a detailed recreation of the assassination, and a 3D walkthrough of Magneto’s “plastic prison.”

The campaign was timed to launch around the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination through an exclusive partnership with pop culture website, The Nerdist.
