Line 63:
The first series was accompanied by an online [[viral marketing]], on [[social networking]] websites such as Facebook and Twitter. For example, in a British first, the characters Simon and Kelly tweeted during the initial transmission of each episode, with the content of the tweets provided by writers Sam Liefer and Ben Edwards, under the direction of lead writer Howard Overman and executive producer Petra Fried. These tweets and other website postings provided additional narrative material, and amongst other things did not ultimately reveal the identity of a key character who appeared only in episode six. Since then other characters have appeared, such as Rudy Wade and Alisha Bailey, as well as a fan-based "observer" character named "That Guy".<ref name="GuardianTwitter" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hecklerspray.com/tv-preview-misfits-e4/200941210.php|title=TV Preview: Misfits, E4|last=Emmerson|first=Keith|date=5 November 2009|publisher=hecklerspray.com|accessdate=14 November 2009}}</ref> Additional strategic components included [[direct-to-video|direct-to]]-YouTube video clips and an online game based on the show.<ref name="GuardianTwitter">{{cite news|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/oct/28/misfits-e4-twitter|title=E4's Misfits characters to post on Twitter|last=Dowell|first=Ben|date=28 October 2009|work=The Guardian |accessdate=14 November 2009|location=London}}</ref>
