Discovery Channel detailed “the most sweeping program-marketing campaign in the network’s history” to support 11-part HD series Planet Earth.
The network said the campaign encompasses on-air, off-channel television, print, online, in-theater, out of home advertising, a watch-and-win sweepstakes, retail exposure and a multilayered collaboration with Bank of America, the series’ presenting sponsor.
Bank of America will receive branding through tune-in signage in more than 100 Discovery Channel stores beginning March 19 and through a specially created Planet Earth game on the series’ site beginning March 9.
