Dexter’s Work Is Never Done

The US Show employs interesting promo techniques around the world
June 24th, 2008

Season 3 of Dexter is still months away from debuting here in the US but season 2 of the show is about to launch in other parts of the world. Here are a few examples of some of the guerrilla advertising techniques that are being employed to promote the show in Lisbon, Portugal:


Hahahahaha … I love it! This is such a great way to promote such an awesome show. I wonder if this sort of thing would be possible here in the US. I really feel like we may be so uptight that people might be offended and complain if they found “dead” people lying around on the street … sheesh, go figure. Click HERE to watch a short video of another bit of guerrilla advertising for the show that went down in Portugal. I love Dexter … I think it has to be my fave dramatic program. If you’ve not see the show, I highly recommend that you check it out … it’s effing brills! Bone up now, season 3 debuts on Showtime on September 28!

    I agree, Dexter is one of my favorite shows as well. Trent, I think that when season three comes out you should do episode reviews sort of like what you do with LOST and the other shows. I think that would be really awesome :)

    it is awesome, and if you had’nt talked about it here on the blog when you watched the first season i wouldn’t know about it! and i agree with Karlie. you doing dexter recaps would be really cool, because i like to hear your p.o.v. i read your other recaps even tho i don’t watch those shows, like the HILLS.
