Interactive Visualization

This is not the first time Netflix uses phone numbers that work to promote Stranger Things. In 2017, the creators of the show "promoted a viral marketing campaign", which included real billboards in Los Angeles and New York – including a phone number that people could call to hear a message from Dr. Sam Owens, Director of Operations at Hawkins Power and Light. .

The ability to call characters in shows fits into a growing trend towards more immersive streaming, which allows viewers to interact with what they're watching, much like they were interacting with a video game.

Netflix is ​​truly at the forefront of this trend, having released the interactive Black Mirror movie Bandersnatch in December 2018.

This feature-length episode allows the viewer to keep control of key decisions while along the route. . Although Bandersnatch was no doubt a natural evolution of the paranoid descriptions of Black Mirror technology, the use of interactive media is not relegated to the rank of technological dystopia. The inevitable Kimmy Schmidt in 2020.

Other broadcast platforms like Amazon Prime Video have not yet followed suit, and we do not know yet if services soon available, Disney Plus and Apple TV Plus, will support interactive content.

If they do not, the format could simply help Netflix resist the growing competition
