ABC Family Announces PRETTY LITTLE LIARS Fan-Driven Marketing Campaign

With Season Five of the ABC Family series "Pretty Little Liars" coming to a close, tomorrow, Tuesday, March 24th, ABC Family is already looking ahead to the launch of Season Six. The network is doing something that has never been done before: letting the fans co-create the 10-week marketing campaign. From designing the Season Six key art to voting for magazines and websites they think ABC Family should use to promote the show, to creating promos and gifs for use in the social space, PLL fans will play a major role in developing the campaign.

Starting tomorrow during the Season Five finale airing at 8:00 - 9:00 PM ET/PT, the multi-phase campaign will kick off with a snipe and promo, inviting fans to submit their art to PrettyLittleCampaign.com for the chance to have it featured in ABC Family's summer ad campaign - including a one-page ad in the June/July issue of Seventeen Magazine.

Each week leading up to the Season Six premiere, fans can go to PrettyLittleCampaign.com to vote on different aspects of the marketing campaign, including where PLL ads will appear on TV, in magazines and on websites. They can also participate in multiple opportunities to create the tactics that will be used in the campaign - including promos, social graphics and gifs that will be used to promote the summer premiere in the digital space.

"Recognizing the deep, unique and personal relationship PLL fans have to the series and inspired by the creativity and dedication they share with us week after week, we know they'll set an incredible marketing campaign for the summer season," said Nigel Cox-Hagan, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Creative and Branding, ABC Family. "We want our promos and ads to be where the fans are, so the best way to make that happen is to ask them."
