I Heard The Bells

The PROJECT

Sight & Sound is well known for its awe-inspiring live stage shows and new streaming service, Sight & Sound TV.  In 2022, Sight & Sound created its first theatrical film, I Heard the Bells.  This film showcased the true story behind the beloved Christmas carol and its author, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  The studio tasked us with creating a digital paid media campaign to leverage its current fan base and to find all-new audiences, with the ultimate goal of driving ticket sales for this theatrical event.

The Story

Known as America's Poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow leads an idyllic life...until the day his world is shattered by tragedy. With a nation divided by Civil War and his family torn apart, Henry puts down his pen, silenced by grief. But it's the sound of Christmas morning that reignites the poet's lost voice as he discovers the resounding hope of rekindled faith.

Because Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a beloved part of American history, we wanted to honor his inspiring story, enduring faith, and lasting legacy.
