Play as Zorro: an immersive experience to prolong the pleasure of the hit show

Open Innovation
Published on February 24, 2025

To mark the release of the highly anticipated series "Zorro," France Télévisions is introducing a one-of-a-kind immersive experience on france.tv. Fans can take on the roles of Zorro, Gabriella, or Diego—an initiative crafted by the Editorial Marketing and Open Innovation teams.

    Your Poster, Your Hero

    Have you ever wanted to wield Zorro’s sword, with a cape billowing in the wind, or embody Gabriella or Diego? Thanks to innovative technology, this has become possible by transforming a selfie into a personalized movie poster. Once created, the poster could easily be shared on social media, not only encouraging user engagement with the Zorro series but also promoting the show available on both France.tv and France 2.

    Technology serving creativity

    At the heart of this initiative was Photoroom, a solution recognized for democratizing access to professional-quality images. Leveraging artificial intelligence, Photoroom provided a simple, smooth, and, above all, immersive experience. In just a few clicks, viewers could generate a striking image that transported them directly into the world of the series.

    An experience that brings the audience closer to the story

    With this innovation, France Télévisions went beyond simply broadcast a series: it created a unique interaction with its audience. This bridge between digital technology and entertainment engaged a more curious and experience-hungry public, as evidenced by the results of this campaign. The initiative proved highly engaging, as visitors who clicked to the game watched nearly four times more videos than those who didn’t click: 19.8 videos viewed versus 3.8 videos viewed.

    This collaboration illustrates France Télévisions' commitment to engaging and retaining its audiences by offering unique, engaging operations that highlight content broadcast on france.tv and, more broadly, on the group's channels.

To engage all employees, the company also organized a takeover of its Twitter account for the day, giving three interns the opportunity to share their insights on the initiatives. The InnoDay was a day when France Télévisions' innovation efforts truly took flight. As Kati Bremme, director of innovation and foresight and editor-in-chief of Méta-Media, reminded attendees, innovation is at the heart of the company's DNA.
