A decision that shaped the work

Turn a committed fan base into a launch platform.

The North American strategy paired fandom and cultural connection with localized creative, talent-led content, media partnerships and a clear invitation to attend. The film’s emotional proposition gave new viewers a way in. Deadline and Variety covered the release and named AJMC in the campaign.

Core audience → wider invitation → theatrical release
The challenge

A major franchise with a passionate fan base needed to convert enthusiasm into theatrical attendance and create entry points for audiences beyond the people already predisposed to care.

The strategy

Activate the established fans, then give the next audience a clear entertainment proposition: love, separation, second chances and rebuilding a life. Connect North America-specific messaging, talent content and community participation to a practical theatrical invitation.

The campaign

North American strategy with distribution, creative and social partners; localized content, fan engagement, media and platform partnerships, and release-specific activation.

The result

Hello, Love, Again became the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time worldwide. Its record-setting North American launch reached the box-office Top 10. Deadline and Variety reported on the campaign strategy and named AJMC. AJMC provided North American marketing with the distribution and campaign team.
