Game of Thrones Branded Merch Push Reaches Fever Pitch
Winter is here. The long night is upon us. The battle for the Iron Throne is finally coming to an end. HBO is no stranger to going above and beyond to give their audience an experience unlike any other.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the eighth and final season of HBO’s hit series, Game of Thrones, premiers on Sunday night, and the entertainment branded merch has been magical to say the least.
By partnering with high-profile brands with a lot of visibility among viewers, the lead up to the series finale has been highly anticipated and talked about. And since HBO is one of the few streaming services that drops the show at the same time it airs live instead of making audiences wait until the following day, I’m expecting to see record breaking viewership.

We Were Right About Millennial Night Being a Success
The Montgomery Biscuits, Minor League Baseball Team, hosted a Millennial Night promotion complete with participation ribbons, nap pods, selfie stations, and avocado biscuits. This beats Prince Night hands down in my opinion.
