VIRTUAL COMIC-CON ALTERNATIVES
The Challenge: Find ways to connect the Funimation internal team and their fans during a trying time.
The Solution: Create virtual alternatives to traditional in-person fun that taps into the power of a dedicated community.
As COVID-19 forced fan conventions and meetups around the world to cancel or indefinitely reschedule, Funimation was looking for alternative concepts to traditional team-building activities and convention experiences. We took the core, unifying aspects of both and created a series of virtual activities to help employees and fans take a break and recharge.
We decided to tap into the popularity of Zoom by inviting employees to celebrity and influencer keynotes over Zoom. For Funimation fans, we wanted to boil down the essential experience of not only the Funimation booth at Comic-Con, but also the activities that bring the Funimation community together.
