This Game of Thrones The Final Season Walmart WOW display was created by our Burbank team and earned them a 2020 SHOP! Gold OMA Award! Designed for HBO Home Entertainment and entered in the Mass Merchandise category, this display was designed to be impactful at retail while immediately conveying it as a recognizable and pop-culture iconic piece familiar to fans of the show.
