SKY: The First ‘Real’ Game of Thrones Marathon by M&C Saatchi Milan
- Location:
For the launch of Game of Thrones season seven, Sky and M&C Saatchi created the first TV marathon actually run by fans of the award-winning show.
A group of marathoners addicted to the TV series crossed Italy behind a moving screen, while watching the first six seasons of the most followed series in the world.
An epic adventure, beginning in Rome, continued despite heat and pain, across Italy’s countryside and villages. Through true passion and grit they conquered the course and crossed the finish line, Sforzesco Castle, for a spectacular last stage that involved hundreds of other Game of Thrones fans.
After the marathoners arrived at Sforzesco Castle, their bravery and determination was awarded in the best possible way for a Game of Thrones fan. There, thousands of Italian fans stayed up until the early hours of the morning to watch the premiere of Game of Thrones season seven, broadcast exclusively on Sky Atlantic simultaneously with the USA.
