BATKID SAVE CITY

A little boy stole our hearts last month as he dashingly rescued a damsel in distress and San Francisco Giant's beloved mascot Lou Seal from the villainous ploys of the Riddler.

#SFBatKid tells a wonderful tale of how the power of social media moved the hearts of a whole entire city and earned the support of teary-eyed spectators worldwide.

BATKID SAVE CITY

The campaign was planned and directed by the Make-A-Wish Foundation for a little boy whose ardent wish was to become Batman. The spirited boy battled acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a lethal condition since birth. Perhaps it was the fact that the little boy faced with adversity asked for an innocent desire to portray a superhero we have all grown to love, or maybe the timing of the campaign which was done just before Thanksgiving. Whatever it was, the campaign took flight and inspired everyone around the globe together to accomplish a wonderful cause.

Armed with the hashtag #SFBatkid, the campaign went viral and all of San Francisco found themselves taking part in the heartwarming adventureThis campaign showed everyone how social media marketing can bring the community together to accomplish a wonderful cause.

The coffee shop was outfitted with

fake walls, moving chairs, moving

tables, falling books, a stunt man, and

an actress to create a terrifying scene

of telekinetic haunting in true Carrie

fashion.

horrified looks on the patrons'

faces made for a great viral

video that rocked over 50

million views thanks to genius

pranking skills of the creative

crew and the power of social

The marketing and production

crew of the movie joined forces

in creating a terrifying prank

in a coffee shop sure to make

the patrons run out of the shop

and, well, hopefully into the

movie theater!
