Hey Monsters UK Fans – Check-in on foursquare December 3!

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

We love it when companies integrate foursquare into their marketing campaigns, especially when they go beyond the first step! The social savvy people over @ Think Jam have done just that by creating online ‘buzz’ about their ‘Swarm Badge’ promotion coinciding with the release of the film Monsters in the UK.

Official Info Below:

On the 3rd December (release day) from 6pm, fans who are eagerly awaiting the release of Monsters are encouraged to gather in 5 Vue Entertainment cinemas and 5 Cineworld venues around the UK. Using the Foursquare application on their smart phones, fans will need to unlock the coveted Swarm Badge, which can only be unlocked when 50+ Foursquare users check in to a venue simultaneously.

Unlocking the Swarm Badge will unleash a discount to see the film that very evening at Vue Cinemas (7pm) and Cineworld (TBC) in the following participating venues: Vue Birmingham City Star, Vue Bristol Cribs, Vue Cheshire Oaks, Vue Leeds Light, Vue Westfield, Cineworld Birmingham Broad St, Cineworld Cardiff, Cineworld Edinburgh, Cineworld Greenwich (O2) and Cineworld Sheffield. Full details and T&Cs will be found shortly on the official Facebook page – http://www.facebook.com/MonstersUK
