A fan-built media kit for The Loyal Pin

The Loyal Pin Media Kit: A Custom WordPress Website Built by a Fan

The series had nowhere in English for press or new fans to land, so Tamara built one: an independent media kit for The Loyal Pin that grew into the full record of the series.

Built by a fan, for the series

The Loyal Pin (ปิ่นภักดิ์) is Thailand's first GL period drama, a slow-burn love story set in 1950s Thailand, starring Freen Sarocha as Pin and Becky Armstrong as Princess Anin. All 16 episodes stream free on YouTube.

Tamara watched it, got completely hooked, and went looking for a proper English-language source. There wasn't one. So she built it. The site is an independent fan project, not an official studio site, and she writes and maintains it herself.

The challenge

A hit series with no English home

The Loyal Pin was breaking records, but almost nothing about it was easy to find in English.

  • No press kit and no coordinated English rollout
  • The best details lived across dozens of accounts, languages and threads, buried within a day
  • Writers and outlets had nothing they could actually work from
  • New viewers abroad didn't know where to watch it, or that it was free with English subtitles
The hard parts

Accurate, current and easy to find

Numbers move every day. A view count in a screenshot is old by next week, so the count updates itself daily and every stat on the site comes from that one number.

Sources don't always agree. Every milestone links to an official or press source where one exists. If the only record is a fan recording, it stays plain text until something official turns up.

How it grew

A media kit that kept growing

The first version was exactly that: a media kit with the viewership record, the global numbers and the reach, in English. Then people who came for the numbers wanted the cast, the soundtrack, the awards and the story behind the production, so the site kept growing. It's still a media kit at its core, and it became the first site in a network of four.

The brief

What the media kit had to do.

01

Give press one link

Everything a writer needs to decide the series is worth covering, above the fold.

02

Stay current on its own

Live numbers, not screenshots from six months ago.

03

Help new fans start

Where to watch, with subtitles, and what to watch if they love similar shows.

04

Be found in English

Pages people actually reach from Google, for the series, the cast and the story.

Since launch

Launch was only the first version.

Where to watch

Every episode free on YouTube, with how to turn on English or one of 13+ other subtitle languages, on phones and smart TVs.

    Gather

    Viewership, awards, press and production details collected in English and checked against official sources.

  2. 02

    Design

    A media kit layout, built so a writer sees what matters in seconds.

  3. 03

    Automate

    A live view count that updates itself, so the headline number never goes stale.

  4. 04

    Grow

    New pages as fans and press asked for more, then three more sites in the network.

The results

  • One English-language home for The Loyal Pin, built for press and new fans alike.

  • 35 wins and 68 nominations in one archive, kept current.

  • The first site in a network of four, with FreenBeckyMedia.com as the main archive.
Questions

The Loyal Pin Media Kit FAQs

Who built theloyalpinseries.com?

Tamara Stampone, a fan of the series, designs, writes and updates it herself. She also runs Tamara & Co. and posts on X as @FBMediaSite.

Is it the official series website?

No. It's an independent, fan-run media kit, not affiliated with the series, its studio, Freen, Becky or their representation. Official sources are credited throughout.

How does the view count stay current?

It updates itself daily from the source Tamara tracks it in, so the number on the page is always the real number, not an old screenshot.

What platform is it built on?

A custom WordPress website built in Elementor, with a custom-built live view counter, the same way we build custom plugins for clients.

How is it connected to FreenBeckyMedia?

The Loyal Pin Media Kit was the first site. FreenBeckyMedia.com came next and became the main archive, then the sites for Cranium and 4 Elements. All four link together.

Can Tamara & Co. build something like this for me?

Yes. A media kit, press hub or reference site with live numbers works for series, artists, events and brands. Start a project here.
