Echoing the excitement, Defy Agency Creative Director Toby Chi stated, “The SOA App is engineered with an innovative technology, called ‘Perspective,’ that transports the users to the world of SOA with an immersive environment and contains back-stories of the characters and club history, as well as bonus production materials such as deleted scenes and action storyboards.”
Magic Ruby President and CEO, Tom Engdahl continued, Sons of Anarchy is a tremendous franchise. Our mission in developing this App was to create a second screen experience as compelling as the series to attract and engage both new viewers and avid fans. This is the second app we’ve been privileged to create for SOA and with it, have developed and provided new features to deepen the viewer experience.”
