These events involve creative interaction between the show’s actors and the audience helping viewers connect with the characters beyond the TV screen.

They can include:

• Drive word-of-mouth publicity through community participation
• Build credibility by showing real people engaging with the show
• Target the right audience segment, especially families and women viewers
