There were quite a few methods used to promote the Deadpool film. In July 2015, the director and a few of the members of the cast attended the Comic Con in San Diego to show off the trailer for the film. In December 2015, Fox started a viral marketing campaign called “The 12 days of Deadpool”. This campaign involved one website posting information about the film each day. The campaign finished by a new trailer being released on Christmas Day. Two other marketing methods used that seemed to be very effective include a campaign trying to deem Deadpool as a Valentine’s Day romance film. The other campaign was a billboard that only contains the emoji’s “💀💩L”. This of course spelt out Deadpool.
