Too Close to Home Social Campaign for TLC

Too Close To Home is TLC's first ever scripted show, written and directed by Tyler Perry. The show itself has gained a cult following due to it's campiness and over the top storyline. To promote viewership, TLC asked for a social campaign idea that showcased the storyline, peaked curiosity and lightly revealed some of the camp. The campaign centers around Bonnie and the conflicts she must endure – she is the woman who bares all of the burdens and is at the center of all of the tumult.

A secondary activation included Spotify playlists with candid, but entertaining covers to tie back to the storyline and pique interest in the show.
