Digital forms of marketing and distribution utilised:

  • Teasing trailer: Initially coming out of Cannes, Neon only had access to half of Parasite for their trailer. They turned this to their advantage by taking cues from one of the greats – Alfred Hitchcock, according to Deadline.“We looked back at how Hitchcock released his movies, and (producer) William Castle, we tapped into that to give this film its own voice.” That means working on building tension and mystery rather than going big on the shocking events of the final third of the film. Spoilers were avoided, leaving the twists to be revealed to the audiences, helping to build word of mouth.

  • Effective leveraging of media quotes: 

Expanding the mystery of social: Parasite launched with eye-catching social materials including enticing grid takeovers on Instagram and short, sharp videos ads with interlocking storylines. YouTube assets managed over 20 million views since October 2019, with each subsequent win during awards season boosting it to more screenings and more audiences across the US.
