Netflix has taken a significant step in its live events strategy with the fourth annual Geeked Week<\/strong>. Originally a virtual five-day event, Geeked Week has evolved into a hybrid experience, blending in-person and online elements. This year, the event was held at Atlanta\u2019s Dairies, drawing over 1,000 enthusiastic attendees and generating nearly 640 million impressions across various platforms.<\/p>\n The event featured 40 titles with exciting announcements and first looks, attracting notable celebrities like Joe Manganiello and filmmaker Zack Snyder. Netflix\u2019s vice president of U.S. and Canada series marketing, Shelly Gillyard, expressed her satisfaction with the event’s success, highlighting the high engagement and the vibrant atmosphere created by the fans.<\/p>\n \u201cGoing live with fans in real life was a test for us and to see how big we could go,\u201d Gillyard shared. \u201cWe picked a location in Atlanta that had a great outdoor space and a theater, and we\u2019re excited that we were able to fill the theater to capacity. There were over 1,000 fans there. And when we look at the results of that week, for us, it\u2019s really about the engagement and the conversation with the activities and the events, and then the actual live show, having over 639 million impressions feels very successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Geeked Week began in 2021 as a five-day taped event without an audience. By 2023, Netflix had refined the format, organizing genre-specific days dedicated to series, films, animation, and games. Last year, the event included three days of virtual showcases, a “Rebel Moon” Day, and pop-up “Geeked Ink” tattoo locations.<\/p>\nA star-studded affair<\/h2>\n
