Photography, the memory tool of art has stayed with us since ancient era, speaking a thousand words, but with Facebook’s modernization in this segment through their 360 degree photo, now speak way beyond just thousand words. Becoming a mute story-teller, 360 degree photo has made photography more intimate, filled it with emotions and strengthened the imagination skills of the viewer.

Finally, they introduce Kara Zor-el and decided to tell their story giving their viewers a pre-chunk of their show running under #SupergirlOnZCafe.

Focusing entirely on Facebook 360 photo feature, the campaign missed out to pay attention to the other elements of required in a marketing mix. It shared a couple of posters of the show to voice about the campaign, but apart from that the campaign was not multi-facet.
