A&E partnered with the company that makes Chia Pet to make a Chia Willie, featuring the long beard of “Duck Dynasty” show star Willie Robertson.

The MSO had street teams distribute thousands of printed couplets (displayed during Chinese New Year) in Asian malls, supermarkets and high traffic street corners in Asian hubs of NYC. This tchotchke was part of a comprehensive 1Q international acquisition campaign that surpassed goals.
