Pop’s dual objective was to promote its first original series “Schitt’s Creek” while also publicizing the newly launched Pop brand, which at the time was only 4 weeks old. So to capitalize on the holiday blockbuster release time frame, Pop let potential viewers sample the show at NCM theaters nationwide, with a visitschittscreek.com website that gave interested fans a deep dive into the show.
