Nick Offerman is starring in a fantastic new TV show, but it’s surprisingly under the radar. He’s a genuinely endearing actor who consistently portrays a positive and relatable kind of strength, and his latest role is a perfect example of that.
The actor is currently starring as Jinx, a retired wrestler who is overcoming an opioid addiction, in the Apple TV+ show, Margo’s Got Money Troubles. The show centers around his relationship with his daughter, Margo, which is genuinely touching. But the show isn’t just carried by the actor’s performance – the acting, production quality, and writing are all excellent. I was surprised to see very little discussion about it online, so I decided to check its social media presence.
Currently, the subreddit for Margo’s Got Money Troubles isn’t very popular, with only about 3,300 visitors each week. There’s also very little discussion of the show on Reddit’s Apple TV and television communities. On Facebook, the show’s page has just 75 followers. Its TikTok hashtag has 1,810 posts, and the Instagram hashtag isn’t seeing much activity, with under 5,000 posts.
It looks like the main reason not many people are discussing “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” is simply a weak marketing effort. A show’s quality doesn’t matter much if it doesn’t have a solid promotional campaign to attract viewers and get them talking about it online. Even with a high-profile cast, the series struggled to gain momentum before its release.
Apple TV’s Margo’s Got Money Trouble Deserved A Proper Marketing Campaign
The creators of Margo’s Got Money Troubles experimented with several marketing approaches, but none of them were particularly effective. The first preview for the show appeared just two months and ten days before it launched. Typically, streaming shows begin releasing previews three to six months in advance, saving longer trailers for closer to the release date. This show’s marketing schedule feels more similar to what you’d see with traditional network television.
Daria Kobayashi Ritch created truly excellent key art for the show, and the vibrant neon colors were a perfect fit. However, the marketing team didn’t fully utilize these images. They held a promotional event in Austin, Texas, but it didn’t gain much traction on social media, despite coinciding with the SXSW festival.
The team created a TikTok account to promote their show, “Hungry Ghost,” but only posted a couple of videos before it launched. These videos didn’t perform well, averaging just around 250,000 views each. More videos, or partnering with popular creators, might have boosted the show’s visibility. The account also started with a small following and didn’t reach 25,000 followers until shortly before the show’s release.
Apple TV seems to be on the right track with its efforts, but isn’t quite taking them far enough. Their marketing feels very individual, like one person trying to promote themselves, rather than a team effort, similar to the dynamic in Margo’s Got Money Troubles. Considering how successful Apple TV is, the ads themselves felt surprisingly unprofessional.
The show Margo’s Got Money Troubles is starting to gain popularity, as evidenced by its growing online community. However, it could be even more successful if Apple TV had promoted it as much as they invested in making it.
Margo’s Got Money Troubles Is A Symptom Of A Larger Apple TV Problem
The series Margo’s Got Money Troubles highlights a common problem for Apple TV+. While Apple TV+ consistently creates high-quality, award-worthy shows, it often doesn’t promote them effectively, meaning many great programs don’t get the attention they deserve.
While generally true, there are some standout examples of effective Apple TV marketing. The campaign for Severance season 2 was particularly impressive, featuring a pop-up experience in Grand Central Station where actors simulated the show’s work environment – a clever tactic designed to spread online. For Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Apple TV staged a large-scale drone show. And Ted Lasso went a step further, creating authentic social media profiles to foster a positive community and partnering with actual sports brands.
Apple TV appears to hesitate with full-scale marketing until a show has already proven popular, almost waiting for an audience to develop before actively promoting it. Considering Apple TV’s track record of successful shows, they should be more proactive in supporting their projects. While a large marketing push for Margo’s Got Money Troubles might be delayed, they can definitely give future shows more visibility from the start.
