Their Story

Silicon Valley & Wpromote

Of course, that was all on the fictional world of HBO’s hit show Silicon Valley. When the producers of the show were looking for a “cool ad agency location” in El Segundo, they were immediately directed to Wpromote. They loved the space so much that Wpromote’s logo, signage, and even employees were extensively featured in the scene.

Wpromote Goes Viral

Once the episode aired, Wpromote went viral, and our engagements soared. Here’s a look at Wpromote’s leap from digital to traditional and how much social media loved the perfect blend of Pied Piper and Wpromote.

The Results

Pied Piper & Wpromote Created A Sensation

Pipey and Wpromote earned many referral links across the Internet, from sources like Reddit and YouTube clip reposts to articles in publications like The A.V. Club and El Segundo’s Daily Breeze. The articles had a huge impact.
