“Godzilla” Viral Campaign Gives Social Media The Extended Look Michael Lee, April 7, 2014April 7, 2014 The Godzilla viral marketing campaign took to Facebook and Twitter to get users to demand the truth about the monster just like Bryan Cranston does in the trailer, and they responded with one collective roar. The Legendary Pictures team in conjunction with Warner Bros. have released an extended look at the film, after a small social media campaign was launched earlier last week where the marketing teams asked social media to use the hashtag #demandtoknow to unlock the secrets of the King Of Monsters.Now they have given us the truth behind Godzilla, and to see what the truth is, you’ll have to hit the jump.We are nearing the film’s release, which could mean there could be more updates to the film’s viral marketing campaign.
