The Secret Lives of Mormon Women Social Campaign

Entered in Launch Campaign

Objective

On Hulu Original reality series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” the scandalous world of a group of Mormon mom influencers implodes when they get caught amid a swinging scandal that makes international headlines. Now their sisterhood is shaken to its core. Faith, friendship, and reputation are all on the line. Will #MomTok will be able to survive and continue to give the rule book a run for its money, or will this group fall from grace?

Ahead of its premiere, Hulu Originals’ goal was to launch a social media campaign that would create excitement and buzz for “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”

Strategy

The series follows real-life TikTok creators, so we positioned the campaign around trending formats to reach our audiences authentically. One of the keys to the success of this social campaign was our partnership with talent. We created custom assets with them to support our major beats, like the date announcement, cast reveal, and trailer.
