Brief Explanation

MBC Group wanted to develop a break-out television drama for the youth audience. Recognizing the way the youth lived their lives, we re-imagined the television drama, 04. We adopted a trans-media approach to immerse its audience into the lives of the 4 protagonists from across the Arab world. Lead by 23 online assets from across social media, unique websites and custom applications, viewers are able to engage with the show’s locations, characters and storylines – often in real time. 04’s characters spill out of the confines of a 30 minute television drama to respond not only to fans, but also to other characters and even events taking place in the real world.
