Elvis: That’s The Way It Is

Campaign

Strike Media were delighted to be brought on board to work on our second Elvis Presley Event Cinema production in as many years! Initially set for UK Theatrical release of late April, Strike assisted Trafalgar Releasing’s team in spreading the messaging of the release and driving traffic to elvisthatsthewayitis.com, where fans could buy tickets. Following the recent COVID-19 Pandemic, the release date was moved to 13th August.

Strike managed to raise awareness of the title by reaching out to relevant media outlets, delivering the message to the numerous social media fans sites and securing interview with prominent Elvis experts to raise awareness of the day! Strike also reached out to dozens of Elvis social media fansites, in order for them to share the trailer and the link to the website.

The campaign was hugely successful with the film reaching the top of the box office!

Crossing the footlights, revealing the legendary singer as a man preparing for an emotional career comeback, the fans who travelled from all over the world for this history-making event…. and the electrifying live performance of the man who gave us rock ‘n’ roll.
