HBO: ALL MUST CHOOSE
THE WORK:
To hype Season Two of House of the Dragon, we brought the escalating rivalry from the world of the show—to the world we know, inspiring everyone to raise their banners and declare for Team Green or Team Black. I could go on about the 270 foot dragon and Mexican government intervention and Batman getting involved — but maybe just watch the case study?

IRL and CGI banners billowing from landmarks across the globe had fans feverishly debating: “Which are real and which are fake??”
On premiere day, a 270 foot dragon - as big as a city block or 2 King Kongs - appeared on the spire of the Empire State Building: a final declaration for Team Green.
