Copy of email from Mads Mikkelsen's agent to Augustina

I think it's beautiful that Mads sent a message to the Fannibals through Augustina.

Here's a copy of the email.

Enjoy; it's for all of us!

#EmbraceTheCulture Fannibal Yoplait Thank You!

Dear Fannibals!

As you know, a big part of what keeps any TV show running on broadcast networks in the US is its ad sponsors. In the past, when fan groups worked on extensive ad sponsor campaigns, the ad sponsors lobbied the network to keep the show around. We need to line up every bit of support from NBC that we can, okay? And no purchase is necessary; just a tweet helps us. 

Also, if you can tweet ad sponsors while Hannibal is on air with active global hashtags, that is worth serious money to each ad sponsor (a sponsored US tweet is $200K), so please try to help us do that on a weekly basis.

We will select a different ad sponsor every week to thank during the remainder of Hannibal Season 2. This week, please join us in thanking @Yoplait (from parent company General Mills, who also creates Progresso soup, Cheerios, Muir Glen pasta sauce, and natural food line Cascadian Farm).

Please share the attached image (see below) across all social media platforms, okay? And feel free to create a special avatar to be used on Friday -- perhaps something with Hannibal and Yoplait.

Here's the strategy: 

1) Please send a thank you tweet to @Yoplait during Friday's episode.

2) Optional: If you can, please consider purchasing some Yoplait yogurt this week, and then tweet a photo or short video or Vine with your yogurt. If we get some really creative submissions, a little bird told me the producers might give out a prize! 

Here's a great NBC Community Yoplait Vine video from @Gurty: https://vine.co/v/MKxlgb20QP7

3) We're actively encouraging submissions of Hannibal/Yoplait themed art to be shared on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. Anything you tweet to @Violincatherine or @DelaurentiisCo along this line WILL be shared!

4) Please use our #EmbraceTheCulture hashtag leading up to this week's episode.

Thank you, love you, owe you,
@violincatherine
and Team Hannibal 

He's the most cultured person around, amirite?

NBC Hannibal Season 2 Ad Sponsors

Hello Fannibals!

Welcome to Season 2! If you have a moment, please thank our ad sponsors on twitter. If you have the inclination and budget to purchase anything from one of them, or are a regular customer, please take a Vine video or photo and say hello to them on twitter.

They are our bread and butter!

Here's a permalink to a spreadsheet of Hannibal ad sponsors; click on tabs at the bottom for each week's list (East Coast US):

Hello Fannibals!

Mads Mikkelsen's birthday is on Friday, November 22nd. Yes, we love all the other actors and we'll celebrate their birthdays, too. But @aughmonica felt it would be a fun thing to celebrate Mads's birthday this week, so she came up with four ideas. Everybody is welcome to join us!

UPDATE AT 5pmET: 3 MORE HOURS UNTIL #HappyBirthdayMads TWEETS AGAIN 8-9pmET!

1) Tweet #HappyBirthdayMads from 8pmEST (New York City, or Eastern Time) Thursday, 11/21 to 9pmEST Friday. Do two bigger blasts from 8-9pm, both Thursday and Friday.

@AughMonica offered to help our trending efforts, so let's follow her lead!

a) Here is a time zone calculator:

#HappyBirthdayMads Event Time Zones

IMPORTANT: You can also schedule tweets, if you'd like to join us on the twitter blast but live in a time zone where that would interrupt your sleep: https://tweetdeck.twitter.com

You can also rally YOUR country or fan group to trend in your time zone. We'd like to try to trend worldwide for the full 24 hours, but this will be a fun exercise even if it doesn't trend!

2) Mads's birthday card (with 886 signatures, photos, and fan art from Fannibals around the world) has been delivered! (kindly arranged by @MadsSource, who runs a beautiful Mads Mikkelsen fan site).

3) Reblog this Mads Birthday tumblr post as many times as you can. We'll forward the screencap with the final reblog count on Friday to Mads:

http://augustinah.tumblr.com/post/66424474990/lets-see-how-many-times-we-can-reblog-this-in

4) Change your twitter photo icon to Mads this week! C'mon, we know you have some good pictures sitting around!

a) NEW: @VikkiGamier asked us to all vote for Hannibal in the AdWeek poll as part of #HappyBirthdayMads week (we can vote until 11/25): http://www.adweek.com/hot-list-2013-television

If you'd like to help translate this post into your own language to rally the Fannibals in your country, or if you have time to help me find other International Fannibals, please tweet me at @ViolinCatherine or send me an ask at HannigramThings. I'll add you to the working list and we'll mobilize the troops!

That's all for now; stay tuned!

Love,
@aughmonica
